MANILA – A Pasig City court has granted the request of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy for an extension of his medical furlough.
According to Quiboloy;s lawyer, Atty. Israelito Torreon, the medical furlough of his client was extended until November 27 due to an infected dental implant.
“It was approved until Wednesday. Mataas na diskusyon po pero na-approve naman. There will be medical furlough for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy,” Torreon said.
“We requested for [an] extension of medical furlough because there are matters that have to be addressed to with respect to his dental operation, which affected his jaw. Merong infection po kasi yung kanyang dental implants,” he added.
Quiboloy, who is detained at the Philippine National Police (PNP) Custodial Center in Camp Crame in Quezon City, was brought to the Philippine Heart Center on November 8 after complaining about chest discomfort on November 7.
Quiboloy, a self-proclaimed “Son of God”, is currently facing a non-bailable qualified human trafficking charge under Section 4(a) of Republic Act No. 9208, as amended, before a Pasig court.
He is also 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./PN
