Quiboloy voluntarily surrendered to AFP – lawyer
Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Apollo Quiboloy surrendered on Sunday, September 8, to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and not the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Quiboloy's lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, stated his client voluntarily surrendered to the Intelligence Service of the AFP (ISAFP) and called it "epal" for DILG Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. to take credit for his arrest.
Quiboloy is facing non-bailable charges of human trafficking and child abuse.
His lawyer Israelito Torreon had previously stated Quiboloy's surrender was to prevent "lawless violence" and alleged his followers suffered "brutalities" at the KOJC compound.
Quiboloy had been out of reach for days while awaiting legal outcomes, and the PNP had given him 24 hours to surrender after pinpointing his location within the KOJC compound in Davao City.
The legal team continues to prepare for his defense and protect his rights.
