LOOK: PNP presents diagram of Quiboloy's alleged private army

The Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) on Wednesday presented before the Senate a diagram of the Angels of Death, the alleged private army of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Apollo Quiboloy.

Quiboloy is at the top right of the diagram with links to two of his co-accused, Ingrid and Cresente Canada, KOJC executive pastor Marlon Acobo, and a “Mr. B.”

Police Lieutenant Colonel Gene Licud, the officer-in-charge of CIDG Regional Field Unit 11, said Quiboloy trusted these four individuals with his instructions.

“Apollo Quiboloy handpicked trusted members with background in military and security training to compose the Angels of Death,” Licud said during a Senate hearing.

The team, composed of at least 12 members, was supervised by Ingrid and Cresente Canada, according to Licud.

“Most of the instructions are coming from Ingrid Canada,” Licud said.

“However, if you look into the diagram, dotted lines po siya ma’am, meaning she gives the instruction. However, they need confirmation from Cresente Canada,” he added.

Meanwhile, the diagram showed three witnesses, who were named A, B, and C.

“With the indulgence of the committee, since this is an ongoing investigation and we are looking into some evidence, before we can file a case before the court of law, yan lang po muna ‘yung maipapakita natin sa ngayon,” he said.

Licud said the team, which was established in 1990, was used to threaten members who violate the teachings of the KOJC.

According to Licud, the diagram was created through witness accounts and affidavits.

‘No private army’

Meanwhile, Quiboloy earlier denied that he had a private army, saying it was just something that was “made up.”

This was after a former member of the 2nd Signal Battalion said the group killed people under Quiboloy’s orders to show their “loyalty” to him.

“‘Yan po ay kasinungalingan at kung ‘yan ay akusasyon, hinihiling ko ang accuser na mag-file siya ng kaso laban sa akin,” Quiboloy told Senator Risa Hontiveros, who asked him about the existence of such a private army.

(That is a lie and if that’s an accusation, I’m asking the accuser to file a case against me.)

Pressed about what the “angels of death” is, Quiboloy answered: “Imbento po nila ‘yan eh (that’s something they just made up).”

Quiboloy’s co-accused in his cases — Jackielyn Roy, Cresente Canada, Paulene Canada, Ingrid Canada, and Sylvia Cemane — invoked their right to remain silent.

He and the others are facing charges for child abuse before a Quezon City court. He is also facing charges for qualified trafficking before a Pasig court.

Aside from his legal troubles in the Philippines, Quiboloy is also facing charges of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, and sex trafficking of children; conspiracy; and bulk cash smuggling in the United States. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
