The Aba state branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has officially denied any affiliation with the controversial lawyer and socialite, Ifunanya Excel Grant, popularly known as the 'Baddest Lawyer'.
The Aba NBA branch issued a statement, as released by its Chairman Innocent O. Egwu, Esq., and Secretary Mazi K.C. Okoro, explicitly refuting any claim of Ifunanya being a member of their association.
The statement affirms:
“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.”
This response follows the national NBA body's report of their intention to take legal actions against Ifunanya Excel Grant due to her controversial social media activities, which include drug use and explicit content.
