NBA Suspends Female Lawyer, Ifunanya Delilah Over Nudity, Weed

NewsOnline reports that Ifunanya Delilah, a young female lawyer who was called to Bar recently has reportedly been suspended by the Nigerian Bar Association over misconduct.

Although the Nigerian Bar Association has not yet responded to NewsOnline Nigeria’s inquiry regarding its widely publicized action against Ifunaya Delilah, recent investigations by the newspaper revealed that she was called to bar barely about a year ago and had since gained notoriety online posting images of herself in a wig and gown along with other semi-naked pictures.

Ifunanya Delilah smokes marijuana, and an examination of her social media accounts reveals that they are symptomatic of someone with a high libido.

While some have questioned her purported suspension by the body of benchers, many have also dubbed her a model who showcases her art differently.

Meanwhile, NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the female young lawyer in the provocative social media viral post celebrating her call to the Nigerian Bar as Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court has issued a disclaimer against the viral post.

In a statement sent to BarristerNG, Miss Ifunanya Excel Grant Esq denied making the “Gangster and Stoner” post and blamed online scammers who stole her pictures to create a “catfish account” to Scam people.

According to her, she is not on any social media platform and didn’t make the Viral Facebook post.

“I AM NOT A GANGSTER or a stoner or anything of such”, the statement reads in part.

Miss Grant stated that she is an Instagram Model and not a practicing Lawyer at the moment.

She explained that her pictures with cigars was part of her current work as Instagram Model and Actress and the pictures are for modeling and acting purposes only.

But notwithstanding her disclaimer, a look at the Instagram page of Miss Grant @Funaya_, shows that the message in the Viral post has a striking resemblance to the posts on her Instagram page where she post mostly sexually provocative and Sultry Videos and Pictures usually associated with Models.

Even though, Miss Grant disclaimed being a Gangster, in one of her pictures on her page, she addressed herself as “Emotional Gangster”.

In another picture posted on December 2021, at the Supreme Court of Nigeria Premises,  She addressed herself as the “Baddest Lawyer on Planet Earth”, contrary to her claim of not being in active legal practice.

The Legal Community have continued to discuss whether the viral post attributed to Miss Grant is a breach of professional Code of Conduct for Legal Practitioners in Nigeria.

SEE MISS GRANT’S FULL DISCLAIMER:

Good day.

My name is Ifunanya Excel Grant. I came across the article written about me on the barristerng.com website and I will like to make an official DISCLAIMER.

First and foremost the Facebook account where the displayed pictures were gotten from is not run by me. That account is a catfish account.

I am an Instagram model and a lot of scammers steal pictures from my page and create fake accounts pretending to be me just to scam people.

I am not on Facebook or any other social media app. The statement “I Made it! I’m forever proud of myself! A BARRISTER & a STONER, sometimes a gangster. Celebrate with Me” was not written by me.

I AM NOT A GANGSTER or a stoner or anything of such. I was called to bar on the 28th of July, 2021. That was over a year ago.

The pictures of me smoking my Cuban cigar (which is the only thing I smoke) was not a picture to celebrate my call to bar. I am an actress and a model.

I do not practice law at the moment and those pictures are for modeling and acting purposes only.

I will not like anything to taint my career or tarnish my image.

Thanks
