Lawyer of Apollo Quiboloy Posts Official Statement on his “Surrender”

APOLLO QUIBOLOY – The Pastor’s lawyer, Attorney Israelito Torreon, called the decision of Quiboloy to “surrender” to the authorities as an “ultimate sacrifice”.

Several cops of the Philippine National Police were deployed at the KOJC compound to search for the pastor. There were even drilling activities in the pursuit of locating an alleged bunker where the Pastor may be hiding.

The intensified search operations of the PNP gained different reactions from the people and the authorities in the country. Vice President Sara Duterte apologized to the KOJC members for seeking support for President Bongbong Marcos during the 2022 elections as the activities happened under his administration.

Several boxes were brought by the PNP inside the KOJC amid the search operations. They drilled in the area of the Jose Maria College building which left the members worried about its effects on the stability of the structure.

On Sunday, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy reportedly surrendered to the authorities. Recently, the legal counsel of the Pastor and the spokesperson of KOJC, Attorney Israelito Torreon, took to social media a statement on the “surrender” of the KOJC founder.

According to Atty. Torreon, Pastor Quiboloy allegedly decided to surrender to the Philippine National Police or the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) as he cannot anymore bear what is happening inside the KOJC compound and his “flock”. The lawyer claimed that he was actually waiting for the results of the legal remedies that his legal counsels opted to avail so he was out of reach for a number of days.

Atty. Torreon stated in his post that the “sacred KOJC cathedral being descrated” and “the JMC school turned into a mining pit” among the things that happened amid the search for him. The lawyer tagged the move of the Pastor as a huge sacrifice.

“He decided to make the ultimate sacrifice by surrendering himself to the PNP and AFP,” Torreon said in his post.

KOJC Lawyer Statement

Previously, the KOJC lawyer expressed his belief that Pastor Quiboloy has left the KOJC compound in March. According to him, he has discussed with the Pastor the cases filed against him and he might have left the compound.
