The account of the “Appointed Son of God” and Kingdom of Jesus Christ Church leader, pastor Apollo Quiboloy, can no longer be accessed on the video sharing platform TikTok, this a few days after being banned from YouTube for violating community guidelines.
This is what Twitter user @DuterteWatchdog shared after he complained on TikTok about former President Rodrigo Duterte’s spiritual adviser — who is now wanted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for “sex trafficking of children.”
“It seems that TikTok has taken down Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s account after I have tipped them with the FBI warrant and the Global Magnitsky Act sanctions,” he said in a Tweet this Tuesday morning.
“Tiktok was the only network that has reacted to my mails. @Twitter @Facebook @InstagramComms didn’t care to answer (yet).”
In his e-mail sent to TikTok’s legal department, it can be seen that the account @pastor_acq was complained about for “heinous crimes” such as “rape of 11-year-old children.”
The religious leader, who is also the founder of the media company Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI), previously promoted such an account on his Facebook page as the official TikTok.
