Following the disqualification of Beauty Tukura from the Big Brother Naija season 7, the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has debunked her claim of being a lawyer.
Beauty, a former Miss Nigeria, had said she was a lawyer during her introduction on the show and also on her Instagram bio.
She was disqualified on Sunday after getting three strikes for being violent towards other housemates. Her last infraction was committed against her love interest, Groovy, because he danced with another housemate Chomzy whom she did not like.
First Vice President of the NBA John Aikpokpo-Martins, in a statement on Monday, said Beauty’s name was not found on the list of legal practitioners in Nigeria.
He said, “My attention and I guess of a large number of lawyers in Nigeria have been drawn to news reports that one Beauty Tukura, who is claimed and/or claims to be a lawyer participated and also got ignominiously disqualified from the on-going Big Brother Naija reality show ‘for throwing her wig and glasses at’ a co-participant in the live show being watched by millions around the world after a party.

“These reports have been very embarrassing to most members of the legal profession and may in all reasonable probability bring the profession into disrepute if found to be true.
“A quick check of the databases of the Roll of Legal Practitioners kept in the Supreme Court and the Nigerian Bar Association failed to reveal the name ‘Beauty Tukura’ to be on the Supreme Court Roll or to be a member of the Nigerian Bar Association.”
The NBA VP added, “However, I hereby appeal to anyone who may be aware of her true name assuming we may have gotten her real name wrong to reach out to me.”
Beauty’s brother, Kwayi, had earlier noted that the former beauty queen would work on managing her emotions.
