The document submitted to the court by Hajia4Reall’s lawyers alleged that her ex-partner, Luvman Allison, used her account to receive funds from unknown individuals.
According to Hajia4Reall’s lawyer, Elenor Fast, Luvman had been financially supporting himself through fraudulent activities while on probation after a previous arrest by the US government.
The document claimed that Luvman misled Hajia4Reall into believing they were in a genuine relationship, exploiting her trust to involve her in his financial schemes.
Mona’s statements in the documents detailed how Luvman convinced her to allow funds to be deposited into her accounts and transfer them on his behalf, citing legal constraints on his own accounts due to probation restrictions.
Despite realizing the wrongful nature of these activities, Mona continued out of fear for her safety and that of her daughter.
“At a point in our relationship, he would ask me to allow him to receive some funds through my accounts and later ask me to withdraw it for him. Sometimes, he would ask me to transfer it to the business partner in Ghana on a few occasions.
“He told me that he could not use his bank account because he was on probation and had financial limitations placed on him by the courts. I gladly did this, I didn’t doubt the source of these funds because I had come to trust and love him. And I felt that as his partner, it was the least I could do to support his business.
“Later, I also learned that he did same with other people’s accounts. Still, I continued to let him use my accounts because I was scared of what could happen to me and my daughter if I tried to leave the relationship or the scheme that he and I were involved in. I knew what I was doing was wrong and against my moral character. what I did was against the values that I came to America with and that I told myself I would live by,” Parts of her statement read.
Additionally, Hajia4Reall’s sister testified that Luvman had used her sister’s accounts for charges related to romance scams.
According to her, Hajia4Reall’s troubles began after she met Luvman in 2015.
However, some of Luvman’s supporters claimed that his legal issues with the US government were related to drug offenses, not romance scams.
They accused Hajia4Reall of shifting blame, asserting that Luvman was involved in drug-related activities and had served a lengthy sentence before being deported to Ghana.
“Luvman wasn’t into fraud, he was into drugs and he was arrested for over six years and later deported back to Ghana. Remember that you have a child with him,” a popular Ghanaian Tiktoker, Samsonwaa said.
According to documents from Brooklyn Federal prosecutors, Luvman Allison was indicted in a drug scandal in 2008-2009, allegedly arranging for the delivery of heroin through JFK airport using social media.
He subsequently entered into a plea deal with the prosecution.
