Ifunanya Excel Grant, better known online as "Baddest Lawyer," is a controversial Nigerian attorney and social media influencer.

Innocent O. Egwu, an attorney, and Mazi K.C. Okoro, the secretary of the NBA Aba Branch, signed the statement, which was released on Tuesday.

In the interest of clarity, we would like to state unequivocally that Miss Ifunanya Excel Grant is not a member of the NBA, Aba Branch, and that the NBA, Aba Branch is unaware of her.

We must ask that painstaking efforts be taken by officers concerned to ensure that innocent and law-abiding practitioners are not unintentionally held out in a bad light to the public, the statement reads. "While we support every effort of our great association, the NBA, to rid the legal profession of the few bad eggs.

This comes after calls for Ifunanya to be prosecuted for inappropriate social media behavior involving substance abuse and revealing images and videos led to reports attributing her NBA membership to the Aba Branch.
