Rev King Death Sentence Knows Fate Today

The Court of Appeal in Lagos will today deliver its judgment in an appeal filed by the condemned leader of the Christian Praying Assembly, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo (alias Rev. King) who allegedly pour petrol on a worshipper, Ann Uzoh and set her on fire, leading to her death.

The appellate court will deliver judgment in the appeal filed by the cleric who was sentenced to death by hanging over six years ago. He is urging the court to quash the sentence passed on him by Justice Joseph Oyewole of a  Lagos  High Court in Ikeja.

Lawyer to Ezeugo, Mr. Olalekan Ojo, also confirmed to LEADERSHIP yesterday that he had been served with a notice of the judgment by the appellate court’s officials.

According to him: “It has been confirmed. The case of Reverend King is for judgment on Friday. “I have been served with the hearing notice.”
