Justice Secretary Leila de Lima
Iglesia ni Kristo (INC) minister Lowell Menorca II’s brother, Anthony Menorca, was placed under the Witness Protection Program after Anthony sought help from Justice Department because of alleged threats to himself and his family.
Anthony also alleged that had could not get in touch with his brother Lowell, also known as Ka Boyet, who was arrested in Cavite last July 17 for supposedly threatening commuters with a hand grenade.
Lowell was released last July 25 after the complainants against him signed affidavits of desistance.
However, Anthony claimed that Lowell, their mother, Lowell’s family, and even visiting relatives from overseas were being held against their will at the INC’s Central office.
Anthony further alleged that he could not visit his relatives at the Central office because of the threats against him and his family.
Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said she was having the matter investigated.
Earlier, Lowell spoke on INC owned television news station Net 25 and denied being detained at the Central office. — Katrina Son/DVM, GMA News –
