Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy requested for military presence as he had no trust in the police force, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the day after Quiboloy turned himself in to the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

In a report by GMA Integrated News' Anna Felicia Bajo, Marcos said Quiboloy had sent surrender feelers between 8 to 9 a.m. on Sunday, September 8, 2024.

“Ang sabi niya, sana may presence ng AFP dahil wala daw siya tiwala sa pulis,” Marcos told Palace reporters.

(He said he hopes the Armed Forces of the Philippines will be there because he has no trust in the police.)

The Philippine National Police (PNP) earlier said the fugitive pastor had surrendered after he was given an ultimatum by the organization to turn himself in within 24 hours.

According to PNP spokesperson Police Colonel Jean Fajardo, law enforcers had given him the ultimatum to surrender within that period, otherwise a building in the KOJC compound in Davao City would be entered by authorities.

Earlier reports said Quiboloy had turned himself in to the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) at around 5:30 p.m. Also captured were Jackielyn Roy, Ingrid Canada, Crisente Canada, Syliva Cemañes.

Quiboloy and his alleged cohorts were flown out from Davao at 6:30 p.m. and arrived at the Villamor Airbase in Pasay City at around 8:30 p.m.

They were taken to Camp Crame in Quezon City, arriving at around 9:10 p.m., and underwent the booking process.

Quiboloy is facing charges under Section 5(b) and  Section 10(a) of Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act.

He is also facing a non-bailable qualified human trafficking charge under Section 4(a) of Republic Act No. 9208, as amended, before a Pasig court.

Quiboloy has since denied all allegations thrown against him.

Marcos said there will be no special treatment for Quiboloy.
