According to accounts circulating in the public domain, Njagi confidently presented legal arguments in multiple proceedings, reportedly securing favorable outcomes in dozens of cases. The situation took a dramatic turn when authorities discovered that he was not officially licensed to practice law.
The revelation triggered investigations and legal proceedings, thrusting the case into the national spotlight. In a surprising development, Njagi reportedly chose to represent himself during the proceedings, delivering his defense calmly and with notable composure.
The case has since sparked widespread debate across Kenya, drawing reactions ranging from disbelief to sharp criticism, as well as moments of dark humor on social media.
Beyond the sensational headlines, the incident has reignited conversations about professional regulation, the robustness of credential verification systems, and the broader question of how institutions assess competence and legitimacy.
Legal analysts note that while courtrooms require proper accreditation to protect the integrity of the justice system, the episode also underscores the importance of oversight mechanisms in safeguarding public trust. Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
