MANILA — Saying that Pastor Apollo Carreon Quiboloy is on the Most Wanted List of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for alleged serious human rights abuses such as systemic rape, the United States on Wednesday (21 Feb 2024) expressed confidence that the controversial Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader will undergo the justice process.
Quiboloy, a close friend and spiritual adviser of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, denied through a Facebook video that he sexually abused female personal assistants or “pastorals” of the Davao-based KOJC which he founded.
“We are confident that Quiboloy will face justice for his heinous crimes. Questions about legal proceedings should be directed to the US Department of Justice,” the US Embassy in Manila said in a statement.
Quiboloy also claimed to be the “Appointed Son of God.”
“For more than a decade, Apollo Quiboloy engaged in serious human rights abuses, including a pattern of systemic and pervasive rape of girls as young as 11 years old, and he is currently on the FBI’s Most Wanted List,” the US Embassy added.
Quiboloy claimed that many women have desired him because he is single and “God” made him rich.
“Ako po ay hindi nag-asawa. Ngayon inaakusahan ako ng napakaraming babae. Eto po ang kasalanan ko. Pinayaman ako ng Panginoon. Akala nila sa akin, single ako, kaya pinag-aagawan ako. Pagkatapos na ako’y maghihinde, mapapahiya, ibabaliktad nila sa akin. ‘Yan ang tinatawag kong Potiphar’s wife syndrome,” he said.
