After trying to overturn his death sentence ,the Supreme Court has upheld the 2007 judgement of convicted General-Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Rev. King, to die by hanging.

 In a unanimous judgment this afternoon, a seven-man panel of Justices led by Justice Walter Onnoghen, upheld the death sentence that was earlier handed to Ezeugo by the Lagos state high court. He was sentenced to death in 2007 for the murder of his church member.
