A raid on a cult's compound resulted in one death as the leader was found to be housing sex slaves.

Apollo Quiboloy, a 74-year-old self-proclaimed "Appointed Son of God", has gained quite a following with an estimated seven million devout followers. However, his actions have recently come under scrutiny as the FBI has issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of child trafficking and other heinous crimes.

The situation came to a head when law enforcement attempted to arrest Quiboloy at his 30-hectare compound in Davao City, Philippines. Chaos erupted as his loyal Kingdom of Jesus Christ supporters fiercely defended their leader, pelting the 2,000 police officers with bottles of a foul-smelling liquid. The standoff continued for days, with police finally gaining access to some of the compound's neon-lit areas.

As they explored the underground bunker, they were met with dingy corridors and rows of beds where women were allegedly held against their will. One whistleblower, known as Amanda, bravely came forward to share her story of being coerced into a sexual relationship with Quiboloy when she was young. She is just one of the many victims that the FBI claims Quiboloy has trafficked around the world.

Quiboloy rose to fame through his radio, television, and social media presence after founding his cult in 1985. He also established strong ties with the Duterte family, who hold significant political power in the region. In fact, Quiboloy even served as a spiritual adviser to former President Rodrigo Duterte until his resignation in 2022. This close relationship with the Duterte family has only added to the controversy surrounding Quiboloy.

Despite the raid resulting in the liberation of two suspected victims of human trafficking, Quiboloy has still managed to evade arrest. The police have even utilized equipment to detect heartbeats through walls, but to no avail. They remain determined to capture Quiboloy, with police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III stating, "We're not leaving. No one's pulling out until we have him."

Unfortunately, the standoff has not been without its casualties. A 51-year-old supporter of Quiboloy suffered a fatal heart attack during the clash, and several others have been injured. The police have tried to disperse Quiboloy's supporters with tear gas, but they remain steadfast in their defense of their leader.

The search for Quiboloy continues, with at least 18 people arrested and six officers injured so far. The Philippine National Police is facing challenges as they navigate through the compound's winding paths, secret passages, and hidden hallways. It's a daunting task, and they estimate it will take a few more days to complete the search. But they remain determined to bring Quiboloy to justice and put an end to his alleged crimes.
