Kenyan authorities recently apprehended Brian Mwenda, a fake lawyer who had been impersonating an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. He managed to argue and win 26 cases before High Court Judges, Magistrates, and Court of Appeal Judges, before his arrest.
Brian Mwenda pretended to be a legal practitioner and was able to deceive judges into believing that he was a professional in the field.
Mwenda had portrayed himself as a legal professional, and judges did not question his competence until his arrest.
