The Philippine National Police (PNP) is ready to assist the Senate should it decide to order the arrest of Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Apollo Quiboloy.

The PNP, however, maintained its assistance is only limited to providing security to the Senate’s sergeant-at-arms who will serve the warrant to the self-proclaimed son of god, PNP chief information officer Col. Jean Fajardo told a news briefing at Camp Crame yesterday.

Senate panel on women chairperson Risa Hontiveros moved to cite Quiboloy for contempt after he snubbed the committee’s hearing on allegations of sexual abuse committed by him and other members of his group.

Fajardo said they have yet to receive a formal request from the Senate for assistance in hunting Quiboloy.

In the event there are overt violations of law during the serving of the warrant against Quiboloy, Fajardo said police officers are ready to enforce the act accordingly.

On the other hand, Sen. Imee Marcos vowed to support Sen. Robin Padilla’s bid to block the contempt order against Quiboloy.
