Accused fake lawyer, who won 26 court cases, breaks silence after arrest(video)

A young man, Brian Mwenda Njagi, who has been at the center of a controversy surrounding allegations of being a fake lawyer, has broken his silence.

Mwenda, who had been accused of practicing law without the necessary credentials and reportedly winning 26 cases on behalf of clients, has now expressed his willingness to allow the courts to determine his fate.

The unfolding saga took a new twist when philanthropist Mike Sonko publicly revealed his support for Brian Mwenda.

Sonko, well-known for his philanthropic activities, not only expressed his belief in Mwenda’s innocence but also announced plans to assist the young man in pursuing higher education at international universities, either in India or the United States.

Mike Sonko, addressing the ongoing controversy, emphasized the principle that Brian Mwenda should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

“Brian Mwenda remains innocent until it is proved in court that he is a fake lawyer,” he said.

In response to the growing support from Sonko and others, Brian Mwenda conveyed his gratitude to those who have rallied behind him since the news of his alleged legal impropriety broke and went viral.

He made a commitment to cooperate with the authorities.

In the accused lawyer words;

“I will like to convey my gratitude to the people who are supporting me and those that are praying for me. In the fullness of time, I will be able to clear this misunderstanding. I will also be able to prove my innocence and to provide the actual context to what is really happening. It should be inconceivable for anyone to think that I have all of these prowess to hack into portals.” 

Moreover, Mwenda vehemently denied reports of his arrest, which had been widely circulated in the media.

I still maintain that my future lawyer Brian Mwenda is innocent until proven guilty. Tuko na yeye huku Mombasani until Monday when we shall present him to the DCI to record a statement pic.twitter.com/fFGNoxG7tX
