VICE PRESIDENT DUTERTE CONDEMNS VIOLENT POLICE RAID ON KOJC COMPOUND
Vice President Sara Z. Duterte has issued a powerful statement condemning the recent police raid on the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) compound, which resulted in multiple casualties, including the harassment of worshipers and the abuse of minors.In her statement, Duterte criticized the excessive use of force by law enforcement during the raid, calling it a "gross abuse of police power" and a clear violation of the Constitutionally-protected rights of the people.
She stressed that while she does not oppose the lawful ex*****on of arrest warrants, the actions taken by the police in this instance were unacceptable.
Duterte further questioned whether the use of such force was influenced by the accused’s known support for her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte.
She expressed deep regret and apologized to the members and devotees of KOJC for having encouraged them to support President Bongbong Marcos Jr. during the 2022 elections.
