Pastor Apollo Carreon Quiboloy, who leads the Kingdom of Jesus Christ church and claims to be the &#8220;appointed son of God,&#8221; has been evading capture for over three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quiboloy, 74, is under indictment in the United States on charges related to a sex trafficking ring. Prosecutors allege that he and his associates coerced young women and girls into sexual activities through threats of &#8220;eternal damnation.&#8221; The preacher has consistently denied these accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Philippine police believe that Quiboloy is hiding within a vast 30-hectare (75-acre) complex that features a cathedral, college, bunker, and a taxiway connecting to Davao International Airport. Authorities launched their raid on Saturday in Davao City, but their efforts have been met with significant resistance from Quiboloy&#8217;s supporters. The followers have reportedly hurled stones at police, set up barricades with burning tires, and engaged in other forms of violent protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the confrontation, a 51-year-old follower suffered a fatal heart attack on Saturday. Authorities have stated that his death was unrelated to the police operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tense standoff between Philippine police and followers of a fugitive preacher wanted by the FBI has entered its fourth day, with nearly 2,000 officers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123460,"featured_media":3937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[139,4,104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destinations","category-international","category-news","two-columns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
