Nigerian Bar Association, Aba Chapter has distanced itself from the controversial Nigerian lawyer and social media personality, Ifunanya Grant, popularly known as “Baddest Lawyer”
It stated that ‘lawyer’ is not one of their members.
The NBA in a statement obtained by NATIONAL TELESCOPE on Wednesday and signed by the branch’s Chairman, Innocent Egwu and Secretary, K.C. Okoro, the branch said the lawyer is “unknown” to them.
It read, “For the records, we wish to state categorically that Miss Ifunanya Excel Grant is not a member of the NBA, Aba Branch, and she is unknown to NBA, Aba Branch.
“While we support every effort of our great association, the NBA, to rid the legal profession of the few bad eggs, we must request that painstaking efforts be taken by officers concerned to ensure that innocent and law-abiding practitioners are not unwittingly held out in bad light to the public.”
The controversial socialite lawyer has been in the spotlight after she’d been associated with the Aba branch who had called her out for prosecution, following her inappropriate social media conduct involving substance abuse, and indecent images and videos.
