Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) church leader Apollo Quiboloy on Thursday claimed that he is being &ldquo;politically&rdquo; and &ldquo;religiously&rdquo; persecuted by the United States (US) following the termination of his Youtube channel.
&ldquo;Itong ginagawa sa&rsquo;kin is both political and religious persecution. Alam ko &lsquo;yun. Itong lahat ng mga akusasyon na ginawa, fabricated lahat. Pinatong sa ulo ko pagkatapos ipinaangkin sa'kin. Sila gumawa no&rsquo;n tapos ipa-angkin sa&rsquo;yo. Tapos gagamitin nila ang mga batas nila,&rdquo; Quiboloy said in interview during SMNI&rsquo;s Laban Kasama ang Bayan.
He asserted that the country is not truly free as the US has been meddling in its own issues.
&ldquo;Sinisikil niyo kami. Ngayon, tinake-down niyo ang YouTube ko. Karapatan ninyo &lsquo;yan pero nakikita ng taumbayan kung ano kayo ngayon. Masama kayo. Unfair kayo. Injustice ang ginagawa ninyo dahil may tumatatayo para sa katotohanan at para sa tama,&rdquo; Quiboloy added.
The KOJC church leader has been listed in the US Federal Bureau of Investigation&rsquo;s (FBI) most wanted.
In December last year, the US Department of the Treasury i<a href="https://www.dzrh.com.ph/post/us-department-of-treasury-sanctions-on-quiboloy">mposed sanctions</a> against Quiboloy over &ldquo;serious human rights abuse&rdquo;.
In 2021, the US Federal Grand Jury <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/federal-grand-jury-issues-new-indictment-against-leaders-philippines-based-church">indicted </a>him for &ldquo;orchestrating a sex trafficking operation" that coerced women and minor girls to have sexual intercourse with him inside the KOJC church.
Despite the shutdown of his Youtube platform, Quiboloy said he is &ldquo;bulletproof&rdquo; as nothing can take him down.
&ldquo;Akala ninyo ako&rsquo;y titiklop at mga kasamahan ko dito titiklop sa pagsasalita ng totoo? You are just emboldening us,&rdquo; he added.

The pastor further said he does not mind if the US will attack him, as long as the future of the nation is not destroyed.
