Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin "Benhur" Abalos blatantly revealed footage from inside the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) church, where secret hallways were discovered by authorities.
On the sixth day of the Philippine National Police's manhunt operation for fugitive KOJC leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, a secret door leading to Quiboloy's room was discovered.

Abalos stated that the establishment’s structure is complex, and they will investigate whether it has been properly declared in Davao. If not, this could be a violation and may suggest that the design was intended for concealment.
Meanwhile, the Court of Appeals extended the freeze order on Quiboloy’s bank accounts and assets until February 2025. This order also applies to 47 bank accounts, 16 real properties, and 16 motor vehicles associated with the KOJC and Suadsara, which runs Sunshine Media Network Incorporated (SMNI).
Quiboloy went into hiding shortly after the Senate issued an arrest order against him for refusing to attend the chamber's hearings, where he faces multiple legal issues, including sexual abuse allegations, human trafficking, child abuse, money laundering, financial fraud, and tax evasion.
Arrest warrants have also been issued by courts in Davao and Pasig City.
Quiboloy’s camp has repeatedly denied the allegations against him.
