The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) bar association says an arrest warrant has been issued for a Kenyan man accused of practicing law without qualifications after he skipped court.
The case has captivated Kenyans since the man was outed as an illegitimate lawyer last October, eliciting reactions from outrage to support and amusement.
At the time, legal officials in Kenya urged police to arrest the man, who had been practicing under the name “Brian Mwenda.”
They said the man was a “masquerader” who had stolen the identity of an honest lawyer named Brian Mwenda Ntwiga.
He handed himself in to the police shortly afterward.

He was then charged with six counts, including forgery and identity theft, but pleaded not guilty.
