A Tema High Court has thrown out Chairman Wontumi’s latest case against Afia Schwarzenegger, for allegedly violating the terms of her release in a previous contempt case.

According to Afia Schwarzenegger’s lawyer Capt. RTD. Nkrabeah Effah Darteh ESQ., they were not served any notice to appear before the court today May 17, 2023.

He added that the court’s decision to dismiss the case was primarily due to the absence of Chairman Wontumi and his legal team.

Recall that Chairman Wontumi slapped the comedienne with a defamation lawsuit, alongside Nana Ama McBrown, A-Plus, and some panelists of United Showbiz.

This comes after they discussed on live TV a court case between Afia Schwarzenegger and Mr. Chairman Wontumi.

Afia Schwarzenegger was sentenced to a 10-day prison for contempt of court. According to reports, although a branch warrant was issued for the arrest of Afia Schwarzenegger, the media personality never served her sentence.

She, however, later turned herself in, apologized and her lawyer requested a fine instead. In an attempt to nullify the prison sentence, she was ordered to sign a bond of good behavior for 36 months and pay a fine of GHC60,000.

Additionally, she was instructed not to discuss the case on any platform during the pendency of the bond, with a warning that any breach would result in further consequences.

However, Chairman Wontumi believed that the socialite did not abide by the court’s orders, leading his legal team to issue another lawsuit seeking to hold her accountable for contempt.

Parts of the statement read:

“The counsel for and behalf of the applicant herein will move this honorable court for an order praying the honorable court to punish the respondent herein for continuing contempt arising from respondent violation and disobedient to the terms of the judgment of this court”.

The Court has since thrown the case out after Chairman Wontumi and his lawyers failed to appear in court.

‘Hajia4Reall should be hailed for her bravery

Controversial Ghanaian socialite cum comedienne, Afia Schwarzenegger, reacted to Haja4Reall’s arrest.

Several International news portals and the United States FBI reported that Hajia4Reall had been extradited to the United States from the United Kingdom over alleged involvement in a $2 million romance scam targeting older, single Americans.

According to federal prosecutors, the 30-year-old model appeared in Manhattan federal court on Monday, May 15 for her alleged involvement in a series of romance schemes.

The news has since flooded social media, topping Twitter trends amidst massive reactions from netizens online.

A few celebrities, including Bridget Otoo, Shatta Wale, and others, have commented on the issue.

Joining the bandwagon of celebrities to share an opinion, Afia Schwarzenegger said Hajia should be hailed for her bravery and not condemned.

She asserted that the socialite should be commended for venturing into an act a lot of men do not dare to participate in.

According to her, Hajia should be lauded for taking back some of the resources our colonial masters (white men) stole from us.

She stated during a TikTok live:

“Celebrate Hajia4Reall because she has done well. We were colonized by white men who came for our resources, and Hajia4Reall has now decided to fight our battle for us by taking back what belongs to us and you people are angry? What are you saying? By the time she comes out, she will be taking more than $ 2 million.

“She has done what a lot of men cannot do. It is a Guinness Book of Records kind of thing. Have you seen that Hajia’s story has shut down the buzz around Hilda Baci? She cooked 100 hours, but she doesn’t have $ 2 million”.

Meanwhile, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as ‘Hajia4Reall’ or Mona4FReall has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

She is set to be released on home detention to her aunt’s New Jersey residence in the coming days on a $500,000 bond with GPS tracking via an ankle monitor, her lawyer, and the prosecutor’s office have confirmed.
