REKNOWN albeit controversial Kingdom of Jesus Christ Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy is acting as if he is way above the law.
In spite of several summonses or him to attend Senate hearings and repeated threats of citing him in contempt, he persists in not appearing before the esteemed institution.
Despite the warrants for his arrest, he was reportedly quoted as sating that he would rather die than surrender to the authorities. Always a braggart, he seemed defiant to the calls of police officials for him to surrender peacefully knowi9ng he has an arsenal of weapons issued to him.
This fellow, who is also wanted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for several offenses, including sex trafficking has millions of followers worldwide and through his gift of gab, he has maintained their support and loyalty throughout.
Now in hiding the police authorities in Davao are clueless and at the time of this column, he reportedly cannot be located or so it seems. Remember, Quiboloy is close to the former president Rodrigo Roa Duterte who owes the former too many favors during and before his (Duterte) incumbency as president and is suspected of helping cover Quiboloy’s tracks.
