fate of Senior Pastor of the Christian Praying
Assembly, Lagos, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo aka
Reverend King. The Court would decide whether he
should be hanged for murder or spend a few more
years in jail.
The Reverend was charged to court by the Lagos
state government on September 26th 2006 on a
six-count charge of attempted murder and murder
of one of his members, Ann Uzoh on August 2nd
2006.
Justice Joseph Oyewole of the Lagos State High
Court, Ikeja had on January 11th 2007 sentenced
him to death by hanging for the murder of Ann
Uzoh. He later appealed at the
Lagos state Court of Appeal but didn't get his desired
result and the High courts verdict upheld.
Dissatisfied with this development, the controversial
Reverend approached the Supreme court,
asking for the verdict to be upturned.
