THE Supreme Court cleared that the Senate’s arrest order against televangelist Apollo Quiboloy stands as court has not issued temporary restraining order against its implementation.
The Senate’s arrest order against televangelist Apollo Quiboloy stands as the Supreme Court has not issued a temporary restraining order against its implementation.
The Supreme Court en banc took up Quiboloy’s petition against the Senate’s arrest order on April 3, and the tribunal directed the Senate to file a comment on the petition and his plea for a TRO and a writ of preliminary injunction, according to its spokesperson Camille Ting.
The Senate earlier ordered Quiboloy’s arrest for skipping its hearings on the human trafficking and sexual abuse allegations against him.
Quiboloy had questioned the order for supposedly being “unjust and unconstitutional.”
The leader of the group Kingdom of Jesus Christ is also facing arrest based on warrants issued by the Davao City and Pasig City regional trial courts in relation to child abuse and human trafficking charges against him.
The human trafficking charge is non-bailable.
