The United States Embassy in Manila has expressed confidence the embattled Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy will shortly βface justiceβ amid the various charges hurled against him before a US court.
The embassy issued the statement following Quiboloy’s claim that the US and the Marcos administration are out to get him through βrenditionβ.
Embassy spokesperson Kanishka Gangopadhyay did not further comment on the accusation, noting that information about legal proceedings would have to come from the US Department of Justice. Instead, he cited Quiboloyβs indictment before a US court, saying he had been engaged in βserious human rights abusesβ for years.
βFor more than a decade, Apollo Quiboloy engaged in serious human rights abuses, including a pattern of systemic and pervasive rape of girls as young as 11 years old, and he is currently on the FBIβs (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Most Wanted List,β Gangopadhyay said.
βWe are confident that Quiboloy will face justice for his heinous crimes,β he added.
Quiboloy has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Santa Ana, California, for conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, and sex trafficking of children; sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion; conspiracy; and bulk cash smuggling. On Nov. 10, 2021, a federal warrant was issued for his arrest.
Quiboloy on Wednesday accused the US of plotting to conduct βrenditionβ on him. Rendition is defined as the surrender by a state of a fugitive to another country charging him/her with a crime. (PNA)
