John Aikpokpo-Martins, the First Vice President of the Nigeria Bar Association, has denied rumors that evicted Big Brother season 7 housemate Beauty Turkura is a lawyer.
He asserted that neither the Nigerian Bar Association nor the Supreme Court’s Roll of Legal Practitioners listed the name of the former beauty queen.
This happens less than 48 hours after Beauty Tukura, a well-known lawyer and former housemate of the show, was sent out for having a fight with another contestant.

His whole post is as follows:
“RE: BEAUTY TAKURA, LAWYER AND FORMER MISS NIGERIA DISQUALIFIED FROM BBNAIJA SEASON 7.
“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 show 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.
“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.
“Thank you.”
