Apollo Quiboloy, the self-proclaimed "Appointed Son of God" who founded a church in the Philippines called the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), faces a dramatic fall from grace as criminal cases cast a shadow on his once untouchable image. Revered by his followers as a divine figure capable of supernatural feats, Quiboloy wields influence beyond the pulpit and into the highest levels of politics, with presidential candidates seeking his blessing. But his image as a spiritual leader, reinforced by sermons widely broadcast through his media network, has drawn scrutiny amid accusations of sex trafficking, including exploiting underage girls, coercion and fraud.
