The United States has formally requested the extradition of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, from the Philippines, according to official sources. The request was made by the U.S. Department of State and is expected to expedite the process of bringing Quiboloy to American jurisdiction.
Philippine Ambassador to the U.S., Jose Manuel Romualdez, confirmed the request via a text message. He stated that the U.S. aims to extradite Quiboloy as soon as possible. The move comes amid ongoing legal proceedings related to allegations of illegal activities linked to his religious organization.
Quiboloy, a prominent televangelist, has been a subject of international scrutiny. The U.S. has previously raised concerns about the activities of his group, which has been accused of financial misconduct and human rights violations. The extradition request marks a significant step in the legal efforts to hold him accountable under American law.
The case highlights the growing international attention on Quiboloy’s organization and the potential for cross-border legal action. (sunstar.com.ph)
