MANILA — Former President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday claimed that he knows the exact location of fugitive Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

• Duterte believes Quiboloy hiding in Davao mountain

"Ayaw siguro ni Pastor mag-surrender, eh magtago ka na lang," Duterte told reporters in Tacloban City.

"Pero kung tanungin mo saan si Pastor, alam ko. Alam ko kung san si Pastor, pero secret," the former president, who once ordered a manhunt for convicts legally released under the Good Conduct Time Allowance law, said. 

Quiboloy, who remains at large, is facing sexual abuse and trafficking cases in Davao City and Pasig City courts over complaints filed by former Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) members.

Duterte, a close ally of the embattled televangelist, also serves as the administrator of KOJC properties.

Last month, law enforcers and KOJC supporters figured in a clash in Davao as authorities attempted to serve arrest warrants against the religious leader.

Both camps have threatened to file legal action against each other over the scuffle.
