Apollo Quiboloy is the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ , a Christian sect that claims to have seven million followers.

He is accused of trafficking his followers to the US to solicit donations for bogus charities.

He also allegedly required his female followers, some underage, to have sex with him as a religious duty.

Police believe he is hiding in an underground bunker based on equipment that is believed to be able to detect people behind walls based on their heartbeat.

Hundreds of followers have blocked parts of a major highway in an attempt to disrupt traffic to the compound.
