Скачать или смотреть Quiboloy Pleads Not Guilty: Shocking Court Appearance!

From being a TV-savvy preacher who sought to project both earthly wealth and messianic glow, Apollo Quiboloy made his first court appearance on Friday looking like a mere mortal with a lot to hide.

The embattled televangelist arrived around 8:30 a.m. at the Pasig City Regional Trial Court wearing a helmet, a face mask, dark eyeglasses and a bullet-proof vest over his orange detainee’s shirt—and was allowed by police escorts to conceal his handcuffs with a bandana wrapped around his wrists.

He later pleaded not guilty to charges of qualified human trafficking, his counsel Israelito Torreon told reporters after the hourlong arraignment at the Pasig RTC Branch 156, which barred media coverage.

“Because he did nothing wrong, that’s that,” Torreon stressed as his client was whisked back to detention at Camp Crame.

Quiboloy, founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) sect and spiritual adviser to former President Rodrigo Duterte, was arraigned five days after he surrendered to authorities in Davao City, where the police earlier conducted a massive manhunt at the sprawling KJC compound.
