The Senate’s Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms (OSSA) has requested assistance from the Davao City Police to implement an arrest order against Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Apollo Quiboloy.
However, Davao police spokesperson Police Captain Hazel Tuazon said that the local police have not received a copy of the arrest order against Quiboloy.
“The Police Regional Office 11 is directed to assist the OSSA in implementing the contempt warrant,” Tuazon told the local media.
The Davao police said they have no idea yet on when the OSSA will arrive in Davao City to implement the arrest order. The Senate issued the arrest order for the televangelist for failing to attend hearings on his alleged human trafficking and sexual abuse crimes.
The Department of Justice has also filed charges of “sexual abuse” and other acts of abuse against Quiboloy in Davao City and in Pasig City.
Local authorities also said they are still clueless on Quiboloy’s whereabouts.
Tuazon said they are not trying to hide or protect Quiboloy, as it has been 2 weeks since the arrest order was signed by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.
Meanwhile, a deputy minority leader slammed the Davao police for admitting its failure to determine where embattled cult leader Apollo Quiboloy is hiding.
Rep. France Castro lamented that in Quiboloy’s case, the significant intelligence and confidential funds allocated by the Congress for police operations “came to naught” as the Davao police have failed so far to locate the cult leader.
