Kenyan authorities have arrested and detained a fake lawyer, Brian Mwenda, who has won 26 cases while practising as an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya.
According to reports, the lawyer handled 26 cases before High Court Judges, Magistrates, and Court of Appeal Judges before his arrest, all of which he won.
He was arrested by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Nairobi Branch Rapid Action Team (RAT) for false pretences when they received public complaints.
Nairobi Branch disclosed on their X account that he is not an advocate and does not have a licence to practice law in Kenya.
“It has been brought to the attention of the LSK Nairobi Branch through the Rapid Action Team (RAT), that the man has been presenting and conducting himself as an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and a member of LSK Nairobi Branch,” read the notice in part.
