The Namibian Police on Wednesday arrested a self-proclaimed prophet based in Rundu.

Jafet Johannes' arrest follows the opening of a fraud case against him.

Johannes' arrest comes after an alleged victim opened a case against him, claiming that Johannes created a blockchain account and invited the victim to buy the cryptocurrency, known as Trongrace.

It is alleged that the victim invested an amount of more than N$280,000, which he expected would be paid back with interest.
