Supreme court favors Rev. Kings death sentence

The Supreme Court has Friday afternoon ruled in favor of the death sentence handed down the Senior Pastor of the Christian Praying Assembly, Lagos, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo aka Reverend King by the Lagos state Court of Appeal.

Reverend King had approached the apex court after the Lagos state Court of Appeal on January 11th 2007 upheld the ruling of the state High court sentencing him to death by hanging for the murder of one of his church members, Ann Uzoh on August 2nd 2006.

King had set seven members of his church on fire for indulging in fornication. Ann sustained serious injuries and died in the process.
