Malawian Prophetess arrested for ‘resurrecting’ a dead man

Police in Malawi capital Lilongwe have arrested prophetess Zelesi Divason, 40, and three disciples for allegedly keeping a man with mental health challenges captive.

Divason and her disciples face charges of concealing a kidnapping and human trafficking.
