The legal counsel of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy said the religious leader is no longer keen on insisting on the transfer of the religious leader from Pasig City Jail to the Philippine National Police (PNP) facility in Camp Crame.
Israelito Torreon said they still feel that Quiboloy will be more secure in Camp Crame, considering the supposed security threats against him.
“But knowing that, you know, the political air is not for us, it might be useless for us to insist on what we think is right for him, so might as well go with the tide and persevere and overcome,” Torreon, quoted by ABS-CBN News, said.
Torreon noted that they have a pending motion for reconsideration on the decision of the court which granted the prosecution’s move to transfer Quiboloy from Camp Crame, where he was first detained, to his current detention cell inside the Pasig City Jail.
Torreon was at the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the continuation of the preliminary investigation on the malicious mischief complaint filed by former President Rodrigo Duterte, as the administrator of the KOJC properties, against former Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos and PNP chief General Rommel Marbil.
Torreon said Duterte will be filing on December 16, 2024, his reply affidavit to the counter-affidavit filed by Abalos and other respondents.
Torreon was further quoted as saying that the KOJC, through another set of lawyers, will be filing counter-affidavits to the illegal assembly, obstruction of justice and other cases filed by the government against church members in Davao City which were dismissed and re-filed in Manila.
