Quiboloy camp wants house arrest or custody transfer
Published By admin with Comments 0
MANILA, Philippines — The camp of detained televangelist Apollo Quiboloy on Monday filed a petition to put the embattled religious leader to house arrest or his custody be transferred to a facility of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
Quiboloy’s lawyer Israelito Torreon cited security concerns, as well as his client’s age.
The pastor, along with four others, were detained at the Philippine National Police (PNP) custodial center since Sunday.
“Right now, we filed a motion to transfer his custody with the AFP, citing, among other grounds, security reasons,” Torreon said in an ambush interview at the front of the PNP custodial center.
Torreon cited Quiboloy’s “advocacy” against the communist New People’s Army as the main security threat.
“We are hoping that the court would grant the same, or at the very least, a house arrest, knowing that he is already 74 years old; he has [a] health condition,” he also said.
Quiboloy, along with Jackielyn Roy, Ingrid Canada, Cresente Canada, Sylvia Cements, were already arrested inside the KJC compound on Sunday, weeks after the police entered the area on August 24.
