This man stole someone's identity, pretended to be a lawyer and won 26

A Kenyan boy, Brian Mwenda, pretended to be a lawyer and to everyone's surprise, won 26 cases against qualified lawyers.

Brian stole the identity of a lawyer with a similar name to his - Brian Mwenda Ntwiga. The Law Society of Kenya became suspicious when the real lawyer could no longer log into the system after his details were changed.

The case has stunned the African country in recent days, causing various reactions, from criticism to praise.

Brian is being described as "a brilliant mind" who managed to win trials "without the traditional qualifications".

He was arrested by the police, a decision that some people did not support because, according to them, "he is not a terrorist, he has not killed anyone". Others write that law firms will hire him later, while some people suggest that the state should pay for his studies.

However, Brian will have to pass one last test - get himself out of prison.
