MANILA — The Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson, Col. Jean Fajardo, stated on Monday, August 26, 2024, that they have video evidence showing members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) harming each other and falsely accusing the police of causing their injuries.
“We have a video that shows members injuring each other in an attempt to blame the police for their injuries. We are currently waiting for this video to be authenticated,” Fajardo said.
The PNP spokesperson added that some police officers were injured during their search for KOJC Pastor Apollo Quiboloy at the compound in Davao City.
“One of our officers sustained a head injury, another had a broken nose bridge, and many others have cuts and bruises on their hands and feet,” Fajardo reported.
Fajardo also clarified that the police did not use tear gas, contradicting claims made by KOJC members.
The PNP has given Quiboloy’s supporters until today to voluntarily disperse and remove the vehicles and barricades blocking the area.
Fajardo mentioned that they are considering filing a complaint against the protesters.
