MANILA — Philippine National Police spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo reported on Friday, August 30, 2024, that authorities have searched approximately 40 to 50 percent of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Compound (KOJC).
Today marks the seventh day of executing arrest warrants against KOJC Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and four others.
“About 40 to 50 percent of the area has been inspected so far. Remember, the compound spans over 30 hectares, and there are still buildings we haven’t examined,” Fajardo said during a press conference.
She added, “Our current focus is on areas where we detect possible human activity underground. We are using specialized equipment and devices for this.”
Fajardo noted that the search for the underground facility is slow due to the “thick stones and metals” involved.
Meanwhile, Police Regional Officer-11 Special Task Group (STG) Teknon Alpha spokesperson Jerick Filosofo believes Quiboloy is still within the KOJC compound.
“Our intelligence reports and other indicators suggest that Pastor Quiboloy is still in the KOJC,” Filosofo said.
