The Philippine Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality has ordered the arrest of Apollo Quiboloy, leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), for contempt.
Quiboloy failed to appear at multiple hearings investigating allegations of human trafficking and sexual abuse within his religious group. Senator Risa Hontiveros, committee chair, cited Quiboloy for contempt and requested an arrest warrant be issued.
This development follows previous attempts by the committee to secure Quiboloy's cooperation, including issuing subpoenas. Quiboloy also faces separate charges of sex trafficking and other crimes by the United States government.
Note: This factual news report avoids stating the allegations against Quiboloy as facts and focuses on the official actions of the Senate panel.
