Marcos denies overkill, human rights violations in raid to arrest Quiboloy
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. asserted that the police raid on the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) compound in Davao City did not involve any human rights violations, dismissing such accusations as "political" and "untrue."
He stated that the police officers who entered the compound were unarmed and did not use tear gas during the operation.
The raid was conducted as part of an effort to serve an arrest warrant against televangelist Apollo Quiboloy and other KJC members.
Marcos explained that deploying approximately 3,000 police personnel was necessary to maintain peace and prevent potential conflict and injuries among KJC supporters and police officers, given the compound's 30-hectare size.
