“Ifunanya not our member” – Aba NBA denies controversial lawyer

The bar was responding to rumors that the Aba Branch was Ifunanya’s NBA home and denied aby association with her.

The Aba state chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has disputed claims that Ifunanya Excel Grant, a controversial Nigerian lawyer and social media ‘slay queen,’ is a member of the organization.

The denial was communicated through a formal statement issued by Innocent O. Egwu, Esq., the Chairman of the NBA in Aba, along with Secretary Mazi K.C. Okoro.

The bar was responding to rumors that the Aba Branch was Ifunanya’s NBA home.

“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.

This came after calls for her to be prosecuted for inappropriate social media conduct involving drug abuse and nudity.
