The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has confirmed it will provide assistance in the potential extradition of Apollo Quiboloy, founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. The NBI stated its support will be based on instructions from the Department of Justice (DOJ). Quiboloy, accused of multiple charges including illegal drug possession and human trafficking, is currently in the Philippines.
The DOJ has issued an extradition warrant for Quiboloy, who is wanted in the United States. The NBI’s role will involve gathering evidence and ensuring legal compliance with the extradition process. The charges against Quiboloy include allegations of using his religious organization to distribute controlled substances and exploiting vulnerable individuals.
Quiboloy was arrested in 2022 following a raid on his compound in the Philippines. Since then, authorities have been investigating his organization for alleged illegal activities. The DOJ has been working with Philippine law enforcement to secure his transfer to the United States. The NBI’s involvement marks a significant step in the legal proceedings against the religious leader.
The case has drawn attention due to the scale of the alleged crimes and the influence of Quiboloy’s organization. The extradition process is expected to take several months, pending the resolution of legal and diplomatic hurdles. The NBI’s assistance underscores the seriousness with which the Philippine government is treating the case.
