Padilla seeks probe on PNP's alleged excessive force vs Quiboloy

Senator Robin Padilla has filed a resolution seeking a Senate investigation into the Philippine National Police's (PNP) alleged use of excessive force during the service of arrest warrants against Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

Senate Resolution 1051 argues that law enforcement should respect human dignity and human rights when serving warrants, which are essential for public order and safety.

The PNP conducted an operation on June 10, 2024, within the properties of Quiboloy's Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) to serve the warrants.

The PNP maintained that the operation was lawful and executed without any harm to individuals involved.

Quiboloy is currently facing serious charges including child abuse, sexual abuse, and other offenses prejudicial to child development.

Senator Padilla noted past instances where the PNP has been criticized for employing excessive force in serving warrants.
