The United States Embassy in Manila has expressed confidence the embattled Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy will shortly โface justiceโ 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 โrenditionโ.
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 Quiboloyโs indictment before a US court, saying he had been engaged in โserious human rights abusesโ for years.
โFor 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 FBIโs (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Most Wanted List,โ Gangopadhyay said.
โWe are confident that Quiboloy will face justice for his heinous crimes,โ 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 โrenditionโ on him. Rendition is defined as the surrender by a state of a fugitive to another country charging him/her with a crime. (PNA)
