MANILA — Despite the strong opposition of some loyal members of the Davao-based Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), the Police Regional Office 11 on Saturday (24 August 2024) has vowed to arrest Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy who had long been wanted for child abuse and human trafficking.
Police Regional Office (PRO) 11 Director Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III said Quiboloy seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with authorities inside the KOJC compound.
“Nandyan ‘yan, tinatago lang nila. Hindi kami aalis dito habang hindi namin siya nakukuha o ang kaniyang mga kasamahan,” Torre III told reporters.
He pointed out that the public should understand that they had a no-bail arrest warrant for Quiboloy and his four companions.
“Ito ay isang warrant of arrest na ini-implement namin laban sa tao na yan na may kasong karumaldumal, human trafficking, child abuse,” Torre III stressed.
Police told media that they even saw the children’s rooms in the compound and the names of young girls.
“Halos di kami makagalaw sa loob ang daming tao na gustong makipagdebate. Hindi ito ang lugar para magdebate kami kung tama o mali ang warrant at wala kaming personalidad na magdebate kung guilty o not guilty si Apollo Quiboloy. Ang trabaho namin ay iimplement ang warrant na ito,” Torre III said.
