The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Aba Branch has taken a firm stance in response to widespread claims suggesting that Ifunanya Excel Grant, a contentious Nigerian lawyer and prominent social media influencer, is affiliated with their organization.

On Tuesday, a resolute statement was released and jointly signed by the Chairman of the NBA Aba Branch, Innocent O. Egwu, Esq., and the Secretary, Mazi K.C. Okoro, to address the matter and provide clarity regarding Grant's membership status.

The association unequivocally denies the assertion that Ifunanya Excel Grant, popularly known in online circles as the "Baddest Lawyer," is a registered member of the NBA Aba Branch. The statement serves to dispel any confusion and to accurately represent the roster of members within the legal community.

This declaration reflects the NBA Aba Branch's commitment to transparency and authenticity in its representation of legal professionals. By issuing this statement, the branch aims to clarify any misconceptions that may have arisen due to recent claims surrounding the affiliation of Ifunanya Excel Grant with the association.

The statement further reinforces the NBA Aba Branch's dedication to upholding the integrity and reputation of the legal profession in Nigeria. As an authoritative voice within the legal community, the association is determined to ensure that accurate information prevails and that the public is informed of the true membership status of individuals associated with its ranks.

This move by the NBA Aba Branch demonstrates the organization's proactive approach to addressing potential misunderstandings and maintaining the credibility of its membership records. As the legal landscape evolves, the branch remains vigilant in protecting its reputation and promoting professionalism within the legal fraternity.

“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 is coming after some reports ascribed Ifunanya’s NBA membership to the Aba Branch following the call for her to be prosecuted for inappropriate social media conduct involving substance abuse and unclad images and videos.
