REV. KING'S FATE TO BE DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT ON THE 26TH OF FEBRUARY 2016.

The Supreme Court of Nigeria on Thursday fixed February 26, 2016 for judgment in the appeal filed by the General Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo (a.k.a Reverend King), challenging the judgment of a Lagos High Court sentencing him to death by hanging.
The apex court presided over by Justice Walter Onoghen adjourned for judgment after entertaining arguments from counsel to the prosecution and defence in the matter.

Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem, who appeared before the Supreme Court alongside Mrs. Idowu Alakija, the Director of Public Prosecution and other senior counsel in the state, urged the court to dismiss the appeal and uphold the judgment of the lower courts.

Ezeugo was arraigned on September 26, 2006, on a six-count charge of attempted murder and murder.

He pleaded not guilty to the allegation but was sentenced to death by the then Justice Joseph Oyewole of Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, on January 11, 2007 for the murder of one of his church members, Ann Uzoh.

The Lagos State Government had said the convict poured petrol on the deceased and five other persons, and that Uzoh died on August 2, 2006, 11 days after the act was perpetrated on her.

Specifically, Ezeugo was convicted and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for the attempted murder and murder by hanging.

Dissatisfied, Ezeugo challenged the verdict before the Court of Appeal in Lagos, but the appeal was thrown out.

Again, Ezeugo not being satisfied with the verdict, approach the Supreme Court, and urged that the judgment be upturned.
