Supreme Court Gives Final Judgement On Rev. King's Death Sentence by hltman: 5:52pm On Feb 25, 2016
Recall that Rev Emeka Ezugo (aka Rev King) was on September 26, 2006 arraigned in a High Court sitting at Lagos over an accusation that he poured petrol on one Ann Uzoh, a member of his church, and set her ablaze as her punishment for allegedly committing adultery.
Rev King who was initially accused of attempted murder was later tried for murder as his victim died 11days later owing to injuries sustained from the burns.

He was subsequently convicted and sentenced to death by hanging on 11th January, 2007 by one Justice Joseph Oyewole now a judge of the Appeal Court in Calabar.
The pastor however challenged the sentence before a Lagos Court of Appeal but the appellate Court upheld the judgment issued by the High Court which led him to finally approach The Abuja Supreme Court seeking for the nullification of the judgment by the Supreme court.

Rev King who appealed the death sentence passed on him by the Lagos High court pleaded that he was not guilty of the charge that was leveled against him.
Unfortunately for him, The Appeal Court sitting in Lagos upheld the judgment of the Lagos High Court which ruled that Rev King must die by hanging for killing one of the members of his church.
Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo would have to wait till Feb. 26, this year when the Supreme Court would give the final judgment on whether he would be killed or would be asked to go and sin no more.

Present at the first hearing of Rev Kings’ case by the Supreme Court were Mr Adeniji Kazeem (Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice) and Mrs Idowu Alakija, the Director of Public Prosecution who asked the Supreme Court to uphold Rev King’s death sentence.
After hearing both the counsel to prosecution and defense in the case, Justice Walter Onoghen of the Supreme Court slated the judgment for Feb 26, 2016.
