During the ongoing law enforcement operation for the arrest of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, the members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) in Davao were caught on video committing unlawful acts and disrespect against the operatives. These actions include throwing stones, using a backhoe to dump soil onto police vehicles, using laser beams to choppers which endangers operatives’ monitoring activities, and even hurling containers of urine at law enforcement officers.
These acts fully documented in videos and widely covered in the news, are clearly manifestations of the dangerous influence and brainwashing exerted by the KOJC. It is evident that these members have been manipulated to the point where they no longer respect the rule of law, behaving in ways that are worse than common criminals. The very principles of morality and justice that the KOJC claims to uphold have been grossly violated by these individuals.
The PNP is conducting a thorough investigation and to ensure that all those responsible shall face the full consequences of their actions. The overwhelming evidence from videos and media reports leaves no doubt about the severity of these offenses. Pastor Quiboloy should face the charges against him, especially since a warrant for his arrest has already been issued. Confronting the legal process is the right course of action in addressing this issue and upholding the principles of justice.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked influence and the importance of adhering to the rule of law. As citizens and members of a religious community, KOJC members should be setting an example of lawful and ethical behavior, not engaging in acts that threaten public order and safety.
The community and authorities alike must take a firm stand against such unlawful behavior, especially when it is driven by manipulation and misinformation.
The PNP appeals to the public to exercise caution and critical thinking when engaging with content on social media. Not everything you see, hear, or read online reflects the truth. Misinformation can easily spread, causing unnecessary panic, distrust, and confusion in our communities. However, the PNP assures the public that justice shall prevail, and those responsible for these unlawful actions will be held accountable in accordance with the law.
