VP Duterte condemns latest KJC raid, asks forgiveness for Marcos vote plea
Vice President Sara Duterte apologized to Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) members for urging them to vote for President Marcos in the 2022 elections.
She also condemned the recent police raid on the KOJC compound, calling it a "gross abuse of police power" and unacceptable use of violence against innocent citizens and devotees.
Her apology and condemnation come after approximately 2,000 police officers served arrest warrants against KOJC leader Apollo Quiboloy for charges including child sexual abuse and qualified human trafficking.
Duterte stated that while she does not oppose the implementation of arrest warrants according to law, the use of violence against worshippers, abuse of minors, and loss of life are never acceptable.
