MANILA, Philippines — Embattled Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and four other personalities surrendered to authorities after the Philippine National Police’s 24-hour ultimatum, its spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said on Sunday.
Fajardo said Quiboloy, along with Jackielyn Roy, Ingrid Canada, Cresente Canada, Sylvia Cements, were arrested inside the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) compound in Davao City.
Fajardo said Quiboloy and four others were sent to Manila from Davao City via C-130 plane by 6:30 p.m.

They arrived at Villamor Airbase at 8:30 p.m, and they arrived at the PNP custodial center at 9:10 p.m.
“We gave them an ultimatum, that within 24 hours they need to surrender; there were negotiations,” Fajardo said in a chance interview at the front of PNP custodial center.
“This is a joint effort of the PNP and the AFP,” she said.
Quiboloy and the five co-accused face child abuse cases before the Davao City court. One of them has been under the custody of authorities since July.
Likewise, Quiboloy has standing arrest warrants for human trafficking issued by a Pasig City court.
