PNP: Quiboloy threatened victims with ‘angels of death'

Controversial preacher Apollo Quiboloy sexually abused girls of his congregation and threatened his victims with death should they break their code of secrecy, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said yesterday.

Quiboloy, the founder and leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), had sets of girls who were regularly offered to him for sexual pleasure, PNP public information officer Col. Jean Fajardo said, citing the accounts of the victims.

She said despite fearing for their safety, the victims found the courage to recount to police investigators their harrowing ordeal at the hands of Quiboloy, the self-styled son of God.

Fajardo described the victims' revelations as horrible as they were manipulated into believing that what they were doing for Quiboloy was in accordance with God's will and thus gain them passage to heaven.

"After the sexual acts of pastor Quiboloy with these victims, they are told that they are still pure, their womanhood is still intact because what they had intercourse with is the spirit of God," Fajardo said in a news briefing.
