She is said to have received payments amounting to over $2 million from her victims – older and lonely Americans through the collaboration a criminal enterprise operating in the West Africa area.
Following news of her arrest, there have been high expectations for a reaction from Shatta Wale who identifies Mona4Reall as his godmother.
In a Twitter post that failed to mention Mona’s name or her arrest specifically, Shatta Wale described Ghanaians gloating over the arrest of a certain individual as being possessed by evil spirits.
“Dem arrest somebody You happy… Ghana evil spirit,” Shatta Wale wrote.
The arrest of Mona4Reall has ignited a public conversation about sources of wealth. Mona who recently ventured into music rose to fame as a socialite and Instagram influencer.
Her flashy lifestyle has in the past attracted criticisms about her source of income, however, she had in various instances attributed her success to hard work.
