Judgement Day: REv King Must Die By Hanging - Appeal Court

General Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Reverend King

Six years after a death sentence was slammed on him, Court of Appeal, sitting in Lagos, yesterday ruled that Lagos pastor and General-Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo (a.k.a. Rev. King), must die by hanging.

In a

unanimous judgment read by Justice Fatima Akinbami on Friday, the appellate court dismissed Ezeugo’s appeal, stating that the prosecution had “surely and effectively” proved its case against the convict at the trial court.

Ezeugo had appealed the judgment of Justice Joseph Oyewole, who had convicted and sentenced him to death by hanging for the alleged murder of a church member, Ann Uzoh, and attempted murder of five other devotees.

The convict is currently among the death row inmates at the Katsina Maximum Prisons in Katsina State.
