The Philippines Senate begins a probe into the alleged criminal activities of a cult group “Kingdom of Jesus Christ” headed by Apollo Quiboloy, who is also on the U.S. FBI wanted list.

Quiboloy is accused of human trafficking, rape, sexual abuse including child abuse.

The FBI is waiting for him to be extradited by the Philippines to pursue legal cases lodged against him in the U.S.

The Philippines president has not yet signed off on his extradition.

Critics say a close relationship between Quiboloy and the current and former Presidents of the Philippines is delaying the course of justice.

No clarity on numbers of victims, details to be unveiled during senate hearing.
