Kenya cult leader’s children still being starved weeks before trial, son says
In a concerning development, the children of a cult leader in Kenya are reportedly still being starved just weeks before their father’s trial is set to begin. The cult leader, who remains unnamed due to legal reasons, has been accused of subjecting his followers, including children, to severe mistreatment and deprivation within the cult compound.
The son of the cult leader has come forward with this information, expressing grave concerns about the well-being of his siblings still living within the cult.
