Nigeria Will Boil If You Kill Our Holiness– Rev. King’s Church Members

Members of Chukwuemeka Ezeugo's church, have warned Nigerians to be
prepared for dire consequences, if their General Overseer,popularly
known as Reverend King, is indeed killed by hanging.

This warning emanated from the last Sunday service held at the church,
Christian Praying Assembly (CPA), located at Ajao Estate, Lagos. "It
will be absolute tragedy in this country if they touch our Holiness,
they are just ignorant of this," the goatee-spotting acting general
overseer, Reverend Elijah King, threatened on the pulpit.

DailyPost observed during the course of the Sunday service, held on
February 3 at the church premises, the acting general overseer also
read a weekly message purportedly sent from prison by the incarcerated
Reverend King, in which the beleaguered clergy urged his followers not
to be deterred by their recent setback. "You must continue in the
faith which I have taught you," a line from the prison notes read.

Despite his incarceration, the affairs and activities of the church
still run smoothly. Investigations during recent visits revealed that
preparation is in top gear for King's birthday celebration this year
and members are being urged to pay certain amount of money for the
undertaking. An insider disclosed that apart from money donated by the
church members, generous donations come in every week from some rich
and influential people in the society, who are secret followers of the
embattled man of God.

Reverend King was convicted by Justice Joseph Oyewole of Lagos High
Court and sentenced to death by hanging on January 11, 2007, for the
alleged murder of a church member, Ann Uzoh. He allegedly poured
petrol on the deceased for what he called "acts of fornication," and
set her ablaze, alongside others.

The final sentence is that the victim eventually died as a result of
injuries sustained from the burns.
