Pastor Quiboloy arrested, detained at PNP Camp Crame

Fugitive pastor Apollo Quiboloy was apprehended by the Philippine National Police (PNP) and is now detained at the PNP custodial center in Camp Crame, Quezon City.

Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. announced Quiboloy's apprehension, stating "NAHULI NA PO SI APOLLO QUIBOLOY."

Quiboloy and four others, Jackielyn Roy, Ingrid Canada, Cresente Canada, and Sylvia Cements, were arrested inside the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) compound in Davao City after the PNP's 24-hour ultimatum.

The five suspects were flown from Davao City to Manila via C-130 plane, arriving at Villamor Airbase and then the PNP custodial center.

Quiboloy's lawyer claimed his client voluntarily surrendered to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), not the PNP.

Quiboloy and the four co-accused face child abuse and qualified trafficking cases before separate courts in the Philippines.

He and his associates at the KOJC have also been on the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation's most-wanted list since early 2022 for sex trafficking of children and promotional money laundering, among others.

Authorities received crucial information about Quiboloy's possible location two days before his arrest from a tipster believed to have had "disgruntled belief" in Quiboloy.
