Quiboloy extradition to US 'inevitable', says PH envoy
A claim circulating online that Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Apollo Quiboloy has been extradited to the United States is false.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated on September 9 that the Philippines has not received any extradition request from the US for Quiboloy.
Marcos emphasized that Quiboloy must first face charges within the Philippines.
Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez stated that Quiboloy's extradition to the US is 'inevitable' given the numerous cases and witnesses coming forward.
Quiboloy is facing charges in the US, including sex trafficking, filed by a California court, and has been on the FBI's most wanted list since 2021.
He surrendered to authorities in Davao City on September 8 and is currently at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
