Kota Kinabalu: A "fake" lawyer who reportedly won all 26 of his cases despite not being certified to practise law has been arrested in Kenya.

Tne man allegedly logged in to the Kenyan Law Society’s portal and tampered with the registration details of a man sharing the same name, before uploading his own picture and claiming to be trained in law.
