The Nigerian Bar Association has petitioned the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) over the allegations of misconduct against the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari, and a young Aba-based, Ifunanya Grant popularly known as “baddest lawyer” on social media.

VerseNews reports that according to NBA, Yunusa-Ari was dragged before the committee over his role in the supplementary governorship election in Adamawa State.

The association said there had been complaints against  Ifunanya accusing her of posting pictures and videos of herself unclad and smoking marijuana on social media.

In a statement made available to VerseNews on Saturday by the NBA spokesperson, Akorede Lawal said the decision was reached  by the National Executive Committee of the NBA after its monthly meeting  presided over by the president, Yakubu  Maikyau,

He noted that the NBA would stop at nothing to weed out bad eggs in the legal profession.

It read, “The National Officers also deliberated at their earlier monthly meeting over the unbecoming conduct of some members of the legal profession. Following the resolutions of the National Officers, the NBA has filed petitions at the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee against Mr 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 wildly known as “the baddest lawyer” on social media.

“While it is important to underscore the fact that none of the lawyers petitioned or being investigated is deemed guilty of professional misconduct until the LPDC hands down its decisions after a fair trial, the NBA President has emphasised the need for lawyers to continue to be of best conduct wherever they find themselves, and he reiterated that the present NBA leadership will not relent in ridding the profession of the very few bad eggs that may be found.”
