Apollo Quiboloy claims pandemic will end if public would stop ‘persecuting’ him

Self-proclaimed “Appointed Son of God,” Pastor Apollo Quiboloy claimed Sunday that the COVID-19 pandemic would only end if the public would stop “persecuting, prosecuting and maligning” him.

The Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder added that the new Omicron COVID-19 variant is due to the allegation thrown at him.

“I told you, I’m telling you the truth, the day of the Lord is here. Do not ever ever play a joke or continue to pursue the prosecution of the appointed son because the father in heaven has already declared through the appointed son, no one can escape this,” Quiboloy declared in an address to his followers livestreamed on his YouTube channel.

“The way you treated the appointed son here, is the way this world is going to receive its judgment,” he added.

Apollo Quiboloy is a close friend and adviser of President Rodrigo Duterte.

“The Delta virus variant of COVID-19 is only an introduction. If you keep on hurting, persecuting, and harming the Appointed Son and the Kingdom, you will see much worse than the Omicron variant,” his post said.

“You want this to stop? Stop persecuting, prosecuting, maligning and falsely accusing the appointed son,” Quiboloy said.

Last week, the prosecutors in the US announced Thursday sex-trafficking charges alleging that girls and young women were coerced to have sex with Philippines-based church leader Apollo Quiboloy.

A 74-page indictment charges Quiboloy and other church officials, including two US-based church administrators, with running a sex-trafficking operation that threatened victims as young as 12 with “eternal damnation” and physical abuse.

According to federal prosecutors in Los Angeles, the new indictment expanded on allegations made last year against three church administrators based in the city. In addition, it charges nine defendants participating in a scheme in which church members were brought to the United States using fraudulently obtained visas and forced to solicit donations to a bogus children’s charity.

Prosecutors said KOJC leaders used the donations to pay for their “lavish lifestyles.”
