The Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee has received a petition from the Nigerian Bar Association accusing Ifunanya Excel Grant, a young lawyer from Abia State and internet phenomenon, of publishing nude photos of herself online.
According to Barristerng, Grant, who was admitted to the bar in 2021, rose to fame online after sharing photos of herself smoking in naked on social media.
In the appeal, the NBA said that it had brought misconduct complaints before the LPDC against Grant and Mr. Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the former INEC Resident Electoral Commission in Adamawa State.
The petition partly read, "Following the resolutions of the National Officers, the NBA has filed petitions at the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee against Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission and Ifunanya Excel Grant, a young lawyer of Aba Branch widely known as “the baddest lawyer” on social media.
"Yunusa-Ari was petitioned over his role in illegally declaring the result of the supplementary 2023 governorship election in Adamawa State while votes were still being counted.
"While the complaints against Miss Ifunanya centred on her social media notoriety of posting pictures and videos of herself unclad and smoking marijuana."
