PNP-11: Cops in Quiboloy op brought basic equipment, not heavily armed
Over 100 police officers entered the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) compound in Davao City to serve arrest warrants against its leader Apollo Quiboloy, who faces non-bailable charges of human trafficking and child abuse.
Quiboloy has three standing arrest warrants for child and sexual abuse issued by the Davao City Regional Trial Court and human trafficking issued by a Pasig City court.
The police personnel who served the arrest warrant were carrying basic law enforcement equipment, not heavy armaments.
Quiboloy's supporters gathered at the KOJC gate, with some barricading the entrance to prevent police from entering the compound.
PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo urged Quiboloy's supporters to remain calm and allow the police to perform their duties, emphasizing that the police had no intention of causing conflict or disorder.
Police raided five of Quiboloy's properties in Davao, including the prayer mountain, seeking him and five co-accused.
Despite the raids, Quiboloy was not found, and the PNP has no updates on his whereabouts.
The service of the warrants was carried out in accordance with valid court orders and conducted with strict protocols to ensure safety.
