PCEC urges Quiboloy to surrender, ‘No one is above the law’
By J.Lo
PCEC BISHOP NOEL PANTOJA
“In light of ongoing situation involving Apollo Quiboloy and co-accused members of KOJC, we urge him to consider surrendering to authorities…it is essential to recognize that no one is above the law, and facing accusers and investigations peacefully is fundamental principle of justice,” Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC National Director Bishop Noel Pantoja wrote in statemen PCEC called on doomsday preacher and wanted sex trafficker Apollo Quiboloy to surrender to authorities after Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) members clashed with police forces in Davao City.
Around 2,000 cops are on manhunt for Quiboloy in KOJC compound. Prayer rally with Quiboloy’s defenders turned violent, leaving at least seven police officers injured.
Pantoja also urged Philippine National Police to practice restraint and uphold human rights in serving arrest warrant.
“We also appeal to our government leaders to act as peacemakers and not leverage issue for political gain… pursuit of justice should not be marred by divisions of politics,” Pantoja said.
Pantoja urged everyone to be instrument of peace.
“Together, let us work towards resolution that honors justice, upholds human dignity, and fosters spirit of peace within our nation,” he said.
In separate statement, Roman CatholicArchbishop of Davao Romulo Valles appealed for peace and calm in Davao.
“I am morally impelled to speak out, for and in behalf of peace, and to make appeal for calmness and sobriety among people of Davao City, especially those involved in ongoing situation at KOJC Compound here,” Valles said in statement.
Valles said many people within and outside Davao want rule of law to be respected. He found number of police officers in the area to be overwhelming.
“I appeal for immediate peaceful resolution to situation, and mutual respect and introspection of all…let us respect humanity of everyone, and their inherent rights…let sobriety take upper hand in our judgment and action!,” Valles added.
Quiboloy has long evaded authorities despite multiple warrants issued against him.
Doomsday preacher is wanted for complaints of human trafficking and sexual abuse. On top of local arrest warrants, Quiboloy is also on United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation’s most wanted list for human trafficking.
