While Boko Haram Terrorists Are Always Given Life, Rev. King Sentenced To Death

NewsRescue

While Nigeria has continuously handed life sentences to Boko Haram terrorists who have bombed to death, burned to death, slaughtered and used children to detonate explosive vests and kill hundreds of innocent victims, Reverend King who killed a Church member’s death sentence was just upheld by the Supreme court.

This brings to question Nigeria’s government’s judgement on terrorism and national security.

Not a single Boko Haram terrorist has ever been sentenced to death. In fact in recent months, the Nigerian army has been secretly releasing Boko Haram terrorists who they claim they have quickly rehabilitated.

Vanguard reported on the sentencing of Rev. King to death:

By Ikechukwu Nnochiri

The Supreme Court has okayed the convicted General-Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Rev. King to die by hanging. In a unanimous judgment Friday afternoon, a seven-man panel of Justices ‎of the apex court led by Justice Walter Onnoghen, upheld the death sentence that was earlier handed to Ezeugo by the Lagos State High Court. Consequently, the court in its lead verdict that was delivered by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, dismissed the appeal the convicted clergy lodged before it. General Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Reverend King Justice Ngwuta who noted that “the ‎facts of the case could have been lifted from horror film”, resolved all the 12 issues Ezeugo raised in his appeal.” “This appeal has no merit. The judgement of the court of appeal is hereby affirmed. The prison sentence that was earlier handed to the appellant is no longer relevant in view of the death sentence passed on him”, Justice Ngwuta held. It will be recalled that Ezeugo was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging on January 11, 2007, for the alleged murder of his church member, Ann Uzoh. He was arraigned on September 26, 2006 on a six-count charge of attempted murder and murder.
