Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), has made serious allegations against the United States government, claiming a conspiracy to forcibly remove him from the Philippines through “rendition” rather than pursuing extradition. In a detailed audio message, Quiboloy suggests that this plot involves high-level US agencies, including the CIA and FBI, in collaboration with notable Philippine officials, pointing towards an aggressive approach beyond the legal extradition treaty processes.
Quiboloy’s statement reveals his concerns about being abducted and possibly facing “elimination” or assassination as part of this alleged plan. He also raised fears about potential efforts to discredit him, including the planting of illegal items such as bombs, guns, and drugs within his compound.
These claims come in the backdrop of Quiboloy facing significant legal issues in the United States, including sex trafficking and bulk cash smuggling charges. The FBI has confirmed an active arrest warrant against Quiboloy but has denied allegations of a financial bounty for his arrest. Quiboloy asserts his readiness to face extradition and the legal proceedings in the US, emphasizing his preference for a process aligned with constitutional rights and international treaties.
This development marks a complex chapter in Quiboloy’s legal battles, intertwining international law enforcement dynamics with diplomatic relations between the Philippines and the United States. As both nations’ authorities have yet to respond to these allegations, the situation remains a focal point of legal and diplomatic scrutiny.
