This development follows her two consecutive denials to be called to the bar in 2022 and 2023.
The graduate of the Ghana School of Law garnered attention online back in 2022 and 2023 when she was denied to be called to the Bar.
The General Legal Council cited “conduct unbecoming of an applicant to be called to the Bar” as reason for denying her to be called to the Bar.
The decision resulted in a public debate with many questioning the basis for her refusal. While some commended the General Legal Council for its decisions, the GLC received massive backlash from social media users and some fans and sympathizers of the influencer.
