On August 24, 2024, a standoff began at the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) compound in Catitipan, Buhangin, Davao City, Philippines, as the Philippine National Police (PNP) attempted to serve an arrest warrant against Apollo Quiboloy, the founder and leader of the KOJC, on charges of sexual misconduct. Four other associates, namely Cresente Canada, Ingrid Canada, Sylvia Cemañes and Jackielyn Roy, were also included in the arrest warrant on charges of child abuse. Quiboloy had hidden himself and other associates within the premises of the KOJC compound, where the KJC King Dome and Jose Maria College are located. Members of the KOJC gathered that same night to express solidarity with Quiboloy and protest the attempts to arrest him.

The standoff resulted in clashes, leading to several wounded on both sides. Within the first 24 hours of the raid, one KOJC member died from a heart attack. Former president Rodrigo Duterte and incumbent vice president Sara Duterte expressed negative sentiments toward the raid, with the latter attending a KOJC-organized event within the compound and separately suggesting that the PNP's "extraordinary" actions were political in nature. Police authorities, however, said that the PNP was simply serving an arrest warrant, with the large number of policemen serving to cover the vast area of the compound to search for Quiboloy. The Commission on Human Rights stated that it was continuously monitoring the situation in the compound and had been since the raid began.
