Duterte Admits He Knows Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s Location, But Won’t Tell
DUTERTE – Former president Rodrigo Roa Duterte admitted he knows Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s location but won’t tell.
Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, a prominent religious leader and close friend of former President Rodrigo Duterte, is facing multiple arrest warrants for charges including child abuse, s*xual assault, trafficking, exploitation, and discrimination.
In a previous article, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) called on Quiboloy, who leads the Kingdom of Jesus Christ ministry, to surrender as he could not be found in Calinan district, Davao City.
Former President Rodrigo Duterte mentioned he is aware of his friend’s whereabouts but chose not to disclose the location. “If the question is, ‘Where is pastor?’ I know where, but it’s a secret,” the ex-president told reporters yesterday in Tacloban city.
Duterte, who manages KOJC properties, stated that Quiboloy, with outstanding arrest warrants for sexual and child abuse and human trafficking cases, is unwilling to surrender.
“He does not want to surrender. So, don’t surrender,” he added.
The police have conducted multiple searches of the KOJC compound to serve the arrest warrants against Quiboloy and his co-accused but have been unsuccessful in locating him. KOJC members have criticized these efforts, alleging that the police used excessive force during the searches.
According to the report, Duterte declined to comment on these allegations.
“I have a feeling for the military and police. I am pro-police, pro-military,” the former president added.
Apollo Quiboloy and his supporters have denied the accusations of s*xual abuse and trafficking, arguing that these allegations come from disgruntled former members of the religious group. He has also rejected the rape claims, stating that his female followers compete for his attention.
