An Accra Family Court has heard arguments over an application seeking to restrict socialite and musician Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Real, from interacting with the children of businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye and his estranged wife, Joana Quaye.
The matter came up on Tuesday, June 2, during proceedings in the couple’s ongoing divorce case.
The application forms part of a motion for maintenance orders pending appeal.
The Petitioner is asking the court to limit the children’s interaction with Hajia4Real. The application also seeks to reduce the Respondent’s access periods with the children.
To support the request, the Petitioner presented video evidence and referred to Hajia4Real’s previous incarceration.
According to court documents, the Petitioner believes the association may not be in the children’s best interests.
The Petitioner also claimed that the children’s social media activities had been negatively influenced while they were in the Respondent’s care.
Court documents referred to a video involving one of the children.
The Petitioner argued that the video raised concerns about the child’s welfare and supervision.
According to the documents, the issue was brought to the Respondent’s attention. The Respondent reportedly acknowledged concerns about the child’s conduct.
The Petitioner further alleged that the Respondent was absent during some visits by the children.
As a result, the children allegedly spent significant time with Hajia4Real and her child, who the Petitioner claims live with the Respondent.
Lawyer for the Respondent, Nana Boakye Mensah-Bonsu, opposed the application.
He argued that the requested orders would directly affect Hajia4Reall even though she is not a party to the case.
According to him, granting such orders without giving her an opportunity to be heard could violate the principles of natural justice.
He also questioned whether the court had the authority to grant the reliefs after judgment had already been delivered in the matter.
Counsel for the Petitioner, Godfred Yeboah Dame, disagreed with the objections.
He argued that provisions under Order 65 Rule 23(3) and (4) of C.I. 47, together with the Matrimonial Causes Act, give the court the power to make post-judgment orders when necessary.
Mr Dame also stated that the Petitioner would not oppose the service of the application on Hajia4Reall if the court considered her participation necessary.
Responding to the video evidence, counsel for the Respondent said his team would address its contents after the court reviews the material.
After hearing submissions from both sides, the court said it would first review the video evidence before making any further decisions.
The court subsequently adjourned the case to June 26, 2026.
When proceedings resume, the court is expected to view the video evidence, hear any additional submissions and consider the Petitioner’s pending motion for an injunction.
