However, Miss Ifunanya in a statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer denied the said post, saying it did not originate from her as she is not on social media; and she is not a Gangster but an actress and model.
The statement reads: “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.”
According to the lawyer and model, the post is the handiwork of scammers who steal her pictures, and create fake accounts pretending to be her.
“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.”
She clarified that she is not a Gangster and the picture with a cuban cigar was for modelling purposes, and not for her Call to Bar Celebration.
She added that she is currently not involved in the practice of law and asked the general public to be wary of those who want to tarnish her image.
She said, “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.”
