Fake lawyer who argued and won 26 cases, finally arrested in Kenya

Kenyan authorities recently arrested a man for pretending to be a lawyer in high court. Brian Mwenda reportedly argued and won 26 cases while "masquerading" as an advocate of the High Court of Kenya. Mwenda reportedly presented these cases before Magistrates, Court of Appeal Judges, and High Court judges.

Mwenda was arrested by the Rapid Action Team in Kenya. Sharing an update about the arrest, The Law Society of Kenya's Nairobi branch has warned people about him.

In a statement released on X (formerly Twitter), they said, "It has been brought to the attention of the LSK Nairobi Branch through the Rapid Action Team (RAT), that the above-pictured person has been presenting and conducting himself as an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and a member of LSK Nairobi Branch."

"The Branch wishes to notify all members of the society, and of the public that BRIAN MWENDA NJAGI is not an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, from the Society's records, neither is he a member of the Branch," they added in a follow-up tweet.

The Law Society added that "members are encouraged to share any information of any person masquerading as an Advocate for the necessary action."
