Kingdom of Jesus Christ Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, along with co-accused Jackielyn Roy, Ingrid Canada, Cresente Canada, and Sylvia Cemañes, has been subjected to the booking procedure at Camp Crame, Quezon City.
This process included fingerprinting, mug shots, and blood pressure checks, with some of them showing elevated blood pressure levels.
According to PNP Spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo, the group arrived at Camp Crame around 5:30 PM, was flown from Davao City to Villamor Air Base by C-130 military plane, and finally reached the Custodial Facility around 9:10 PM.
The surrender followed a negotiation effort by the Philippine National Police (PNP) and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
At around 1:30 PM, an ultimatum was given for their surrender within 24 hours.
A peaceful negotiation, facilitated by the PNP Intelligence Group and ISAFP, led to the successful surrender of Quiboloy and the others.
