PNP says 60 cops wounded so far in ongoing hunt for Quiboloy at KOJC
The Philippine National Police (PNP) operation to serve arrest warrants against Apollo Quiboloy at the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) compound has entered its sixth day.
Around 2,000 cops stormed the KOJC compound on Saturday, August 24, to serve arrest warrants against Quiboloy and four of his followers on child abuse and trafficking charges.
Sixty police personnel have been wounded as a result of the operations, and the KOJC claims many of its members were also hurt and suffered trauma, accusing authorities of police brutality.
Authorities confirmed the use of a heartbeat detection device and the existence of a possible underground bunker.
A Davao court ordered the PNP to remove barriers around the KOJC property, but the PNP intends to seek clarification on the order while continuing their search.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla asserted the validity of the police operation, stating that the temporary protection order is moot and academic.
DOJ Undersecretary Nicholas Ty confirmed the discovery of two alleged trafficking victims within the compound and stated that four co-respondents of Quiboloy have been arrested, with three posting bail.
