Quiboloy's lawyer to ask court for AFP custody, house arrest
The Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) has requested the transfer of its leader, Apollo Quiboloy, from the Philippine National Police (PNP) Custodial Center to the custody of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) or house arrest.
KOJC's legal counsel cited security reasons and Quiboloy's age of 74 as grounds for the transfer request.
The lawyer asserted that Quiboloy's safety concerns stem from his known opposition to the New People's Army (NPA) and his support for the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).
The Department of National Defense (DND) has stated it will oppose any motion to transfer Quiboloy to AFP custody.
