Bad Influence, Twerking, Ex-Convict: Why Joana Quaye wants Hajia4Reall kept away from her children

According to the court documents, she claimed that the respondent (RNAQ) is almost unavailable whenever he has custody of the children and consequently hands over the care and supervision of the children to a concubine, Hajia4Real.

Joana Coffie further alleged that

that the children have been encouraged to engage in inappropriate behaviour on social media.

According to her, she once chanced on a social media video where her daughter, was seen twerking for a man in one of their houses in Trassaco, something she believes is due to the influence of Hajia4Reall.

“That recently, I observed my children in the company of the said Mona Faiz Montrage aka Hajia4Real twerking on social media to the admiration of perverted predators, and I am deeply concerned for the moral welfare and safety of the children.

“That furthermore, whilst left unsupervised in the custody of the Respondent and Hajia4Real, my children have developed an excessive interest in social media and are constantly posting objectionable content including dancing to profane music thereby exposing them to predators, active online grooming, and sexual exploitation. Attached herewith is a pendrive with a folder marked as Exhibit JQ5 which shows the relevant videos,” the document stated.

The court documents added, “That having been influenced by the twerking tendencies of Hajia4Real, my daughter, Ruphina, did a video of herself twerking for a boy in the Trasacco house a few weeks ago. I sent this video to the Respondent who acknowledged that the conduct was inappropriate. Attached herewith is a pendrive with a folder marked as “Exhibit JQ6.”

Following the documents been captured online, some netizens have taken to social media to question why Hajia4Reall should be allowed to have an influence on the children.

According a section of online users, Hajia4Reall is an ex-convict, hence doesn’t have the moral right to raise another person’s kids.
