Well wishers take out 13 pages out of a Daily newspaper to wish Rev. king a Happy Birthday while on death row

Well-wishers of incarcerated clergyman and Senior Pastor of the Christian Praying Assembly, Lagos, Reverend Chukwuemeka Ezeugo aka Reverend King took 13 pages out of a National Daily newspaper to celebrate him as he turns a year older today February 26.

Reverend King made news in August 2006 after he set seven members of his church on fire for indulging in fornication. One of them later died from the injuries she sustained from the incident. The Lagos state High court sentenced him to death by hanging after finding him guilty. 

The clergyman approached the state Court of Appeal on January 11th 2007 but it upheld the ruling of the state High court. He proceeded to the Supreme Court where the verdict for him to be hung to death was also upheld by the apex court on February 26, 2016.

He has since been on death row.
