PNP transfers Quiboloy to Pasig City Jail under high congestion
A Pasig court has ordered the transfer of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy to Pasig City Jail, where he was transferred by the Philippine National Police (PNP) at 5:05 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27.
Quiboloy is currently under PNP custody and has been staying at the Philippine Heart Center since his arrest on September 8 due to an extended medical furlough.
The religious leader faces a non-bailable qualified human trafficking charge and additional charges under Republic Act 9208 and RA 7610 for child protection.
According to PNP spokesperson Brigadier General Jean Fajardo, the transfer is necessary as Quiboloy's detention at Camp Crame was temporary and the medical assessment has been completed.
Quiboloy will be housed in a holding cell for observation before being transferred to a regular prison cell where he will share space with 35 other inmates in a 20-square-meter cell designed for five people, reflecting Pasig City Jail's current 481% congestion rate.
