Sen. Padilla to probe alleged PNP excessive force in Quiboloy arrest attempt

Senator Robin Padilla plans to file a resolution seeking a Senate probe into the alleged excessive force used by the Philippine National Police (PNP) during their attempt to arrest Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) founder Apollo Quiboloy.

He emphasized the PNP's role in promoting and protecting human rights, which he believes is crucial for public order, safety, and the rule of law.

The proposed resolution aims to direct a relevant Senate committee to investigate the operation, specifically focusing on the alleged unnecessary and excessive force employed by PNP members.

Padilla questioned the deployment of PNP operatives, including the Special Action Force and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, during the raid on the KJC compound in Davao.

The PNP will file criminal complaints against six members of the KJC for allegedly attempting to attack authorities while serving the arrest warrants.
