PNP: No reward for Quiboloy’s arrest

THERE will be no reward for individuals providing information on the whereabouts of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, as it could disrupt the apprehension of the wanted fugitive and cause issues among his co-accused.

The clarification, aimed to address questions regarding potential rewards, was issued by Davao City Police Office (DCPO) spokesperson Capt. Hazel Tuazon, during a press conference on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

“Let’s be clear, there is no reward for anyone who can find Pastor Quiboloy. Offering a reward might lead to chaos. It’s better for our search to proceed smoothly,” said Tuazon in Cebuano.

Tuazon urged citizens to report to authorities any information on Quiboloy to assist them in the search.

“Any information that can help find Pastor Quiboloy and the other five needs confirmation before we act. For example, if it’s about a school, we don’t just rush there. We validate the information first before proceeding to the area.”

Davao police authorities, particularly the Calinan and Sasa police stations, said they will intensify their efforts to arrest Quiboloy and his five associates.

The Davao Regional Police Office believes Quiboloy is still in Davao City, particularly in a 50-hectare property in Tamayong, Calinan, a covenant and prayer center of Kingdom of Jesus Christ members where outsiders are prohibited.

Former president Rodrigo Duterte challenged Davao reporters during a late-night press conference on April 11 to accompany him in the search for the sect leader.

Duterte’s challenge arose after local media asked if he harbored Quiboloy in their residence.

“Let me educate all of you. Tamayong is vast. Inside, there are many houses. Make sure he is in one of them. Every house should be subjected to a separate search warrant,” he said.
