Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III said the Police Regional Office (PRO) in the Davao Region is continuously searching for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, as it was also considered the primary mission given to him.
In an interview, Torre said “there is a national task force involved overseeing the operation, and the situation is still considered complex.”
“It’s just a simple implementation of a warrant of arrest. The court has spoken, and we need to follow it,” he said.
Torre added that they are actively pursuing leads and are still in the process of apprehending the remaining unseen and wanted individuals.
“It won’t be long now,” he stressed.
In a recent press briefing at Camp Crame following Paulene Canada’s arrest, the co-accused of Quiboloy on July 11 at Emily Homes Subdivision, Torre said there is a commitment order for the detention of the co-accused.
“The warrant of arrest was executed by a task force, a collaboration of multiple units. Because the arrest occurred in Region 11 and involved other parts of the task force, we handed her over to the CIDG (Criminal Investigation and Detection Group), who were then responsible for returning her warrant and presenting her to the court,” he added.
Quiboloy and his co-accused are charged with multiple crimes including human trafficking, among other human and labor rights violations.
