Death By Hanging - Rev King's Appeal Suffers Setback


The appeal by founder of Christian Praying Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeuko (Rev. King), who is challenging the judgment of an Ikeja High Court, which sentenced him to death by hanging for the murder of one Ann, a female member of his church, suffered a setback, Wednesday, due to irregularities in the appeal.

At the hearing in the appeal, yesterday, it was discovered that there are two different appeals by Rev. King, one dated June 23, 2008 and another December 1, 2010 respectively.

The court also noted that the respondent’s (Lagos State Government) brief of argument, responded to the appeal filed on December 1, 2010 without seeking leave of court to do so.

Counsel to Rev. King, told the court that the appellant filed his brief of argument on June 24, 2008 against the judgment of the lower court delivered on January 11, 2007, but, the court was surprised when the Solicitor General, Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Lawal Pedro, told the court that the respondent’s brief of argument was dated April 21, 2011 and filed April 22.

Presiding Justice, Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, noted that the respondent was out of time since the appellant’s brief of argument was filed on June 24, 2008, stressing the need for the respondent to regularise his brief of argument and adjourned the matter till April 4, 2012.

Rev. King’s counsel, had told the court that sometimes in 2008, the appellate court granted leave to the appellant to amend his notice of appeal and file additional grounds within seven days, contending that the lower court on its own,  raised fundamental issue in its judgment and addressed same without input of parties in the suit.

Do u have any info as to why he killed her?

The lady was one of his mistresses serving her. They were to serve him naked, it was alleged.

He suspected that this lady was having an affair with somebody which she denied.

He was later alleged to have poured petrol on her and set her on fire.

she did not die instantly and king was charged with attempted manslaughter. Days later the lady died and king was charged with murder.

king was convicted by Justice Olanrewaju, (I think) who described king as high-way preacher.

how can u be "Holiness Dr Reverend King" when your real name is Chukwuemeka Ezeuko

This case stated in 2008 and judgement in 2011. this judiciary is going wide.

I thought he was dead already. The guy and his congregation are all sickos.

@oyedepo1

They can't release him, is it normal to kill people? He must pay the price for murder his hanging will come at some stage. It is best to let him hope then his hope dashed. He must go to hell for the crime he committed.

Rev King still exist??

I heard you get flogged silly when you want to leave the church before service ends. The congregation usually stays from morning till 5-7pm.
