MANILA, Philippines 鈥� The Philippine National Police (PNP) said it has not intercepted any information indicating threats to the life of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) sect leader and alleged sex offender Apollo Quiboloy.
Quiboloy has claimed a plot to have him killed that鈥檚 why he went into hiding despite a subpoena having been issued to him to appear before a Senate investigation into his and his KJC鈥檚 alleged crimes against women and children.

鈥淏ut if Pastor Quiboloy has a basis for what he鈥檚 saying, we are ready to provide appropriate security upon his request. But this extends to everyone, whether government officials or ordinary citizens,鈥� the PNP spokesperson, Col. Jean Fajardo, said in a press briefing.
In an audio statement released Wednesday, Quiboloy accused the United States government of orchestrating a plan to assassinate him. He said the supposed scheme would involve hit men storming his compound to kidnap and eventually murder him.

Quiboloy鈥檚 assertions, however, came later Wednesday after the Senate issued the second subpoena requiring him to attend the hearing of the Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality led by Sen. Risa Hotniveros.
The Senate issued the first subpoena against Quiboloy on Monday, Feb. 19.
Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri issued both subpoenas.
