MANILA — The Philippine National Police (PNP) is preparing to file charges against individuals who allegedly sheltered Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
PNP Chief General Rommel Francisco Marbil has ordered a full investigation to identify and hold accountable those involved in harboring the Pastor.
“We will not tolerate any form of obstruction of justice,” Marbil stated.
“Our investigation aims to identify those who knowingly provided refuge to Quiboloy, and we will ensure they face appropriate legal consequences,” he added.
Marbil also claimed that Quiboloy could not have evaded authorities without the assistance of close associates, including his legal team, who allegedly misled police about his whereabouts.
“Obstruction of justice is a serious offense. Those who helped shield Quiboloy from law enforcement will be charged accordingly. The law is clear: no one is above it, and those who aided Quiboloy will be held accountable,” Marbil said.
Quiboloy has pleaded not guilty to charges of child abuse and human trafficking. His four co-accused have also entered not-guilty pleas.
