Aba state chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has denied claims that controversial Nigerian lawyer and social media ‘slay queen’, Ifunanya Excel Grant, is one of its members.
This was contained in a statement by the NBA Chairman (Aba) Innocent O. Egwu, Esq., and Secretary Mazi K.C. Okoro.
Ifunanya not our member – Aba NBA denies controversial lawyer
The bar was addressing reports ascribed Ifunanya aka “Baddest Lawyer” NBA membership to the Aba Branch.
“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 statement reads in part.
