Kingdom of Jesus Christ says serving of warrant vs. Quiboloy 'unjust'
The Philippine National Police's Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) attempted to serve an arrest warrant against Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Apollo Quiboloy at his property in Davao City.
The KOJC described the serving of the warrant as 'unjust' and an 'unlawful raid' on their compounds in Davao City and Sarangani Province.
Authorities went to the KOJC Dome in Buhangin District early Monday morning and tried to enter the compound's gate using a ladder, leading to a confrontation with KOJC missionaries.
The KOJC also condemned the police's alleged excessive force, noting the deployment of special battalions in full battle gear and hundreds of personnel in anti-riot gear.
Quiboloy's legal counsel and the police eventually agreed to allow four teams of six personnel each to search the grounds.
The cases against Quiboloy involve charges of child prostitution, sexual abuse, child exploitation, and other acts prejudicial to child development.
The Supreme Court had previously allowed the transfer of these cases from Davao to a Quezon City court to ensure a fair trial.
