Nigerian Youths for Christ, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and Lagos State Governor Akiwunmi Ambode, to commute the death sentence passed on the founder and General Overseer of Christian Praying Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Rev. King.
The youths, who rose from an emergency meeting in Calabar, Cross Rivers State, said their call was based on the biblical injunction on giving an offender an opportunity to repent.
They contended that in spite of complaints of irregularities and denials by the police during the course of investigating the case, Rev. King had gone through traumatic ordeals that must have made him to repent and turn a new leaf. “It is on record that until his conviction by different courts of our land, Rev. King maintained a studied position of not guilty.
From all indications, members of the public had already passed death sentence on him without considering whether he was guilty or not.
It is, therefore, our considered opinion that in those years he was made to pass through the judicial processes, he must have communed with his God and punishment for sinners only lies in the hands of our creator who knows all about the affairs of men”, the youths said.
“Moreover, we should take cognisance of the well known lapses in our judicial process and even at that, many developed countries of the world are shying away from outright condemnation of suspects to death and Nigeria should not be an exception.
Our position in this matter should not be misconstrued as bordering on dogmatism. It is a prayer for forgiveness based on the facts surrounding the case”. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteYeyw people. Una say una be Christians. See how them dey turn Bible upside down. God has exhausted all the opportunity long ago but he raid to take.You should only pray to God now . Anyway these people seems to be the same remnant of Kings followers- touts and cultists masquerading as Christains. They may have even been paid to be making these moves.
ReplyDeleteThe authorities should keep an eye on them else they may even do worse thing than their god Rev king.

ReplyDeleteRev. King deserve death sentence. He is wicked. He be use as a scapegoat to serve as deterrent to other
ReplyDeleteFuck you all the so call Christian youths. This useless Rev King should be hanged. He's a devil and criminal. He has committed a lot of actrociity Using God name to deceived people. Better you fucking youths go and find something else to do.
ReplyDeleteSo that he will continue to kill his members abi. Look, Christians beware. Stop supporting evil. If it were to moslem now, ehea moslems are killers. I'm a Christian but please and please, do follow the activities of this man since the inception of that his cult like church. Please let justice take its course.
ReplyDeleteYou are very stupid emeka for calling Muslims killers. Let your speech be better than silence or be sikent .
DeleteFor God sake! What is Christianity all about? Is the so called reverend king actually a Christian? So, as long as you are refered to as a Christian, the law of the land is not meant for you, right? Judgement is of God, right? I hear you ooo! Remember those people tortured and killed by this man also have families o, and they are grieving to date, waiting for justice to be served.
ReplyDeleteMake him swing, the sooner the better.
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants to take justice in their own hands. The group is only asking for forgiveness and pardon. Where would you be if GOD never forgave you and pardoned your wrongs? Besides, if you must say your mind, there really isn't any need for insults. It only makes your life more bitter.
ReplyDeleteNigerian Youths for Christ I suggest you read Philipians 4:8 .Also, I advise you to focus on issues like rape, child abuse, helping the less privileged (orphans etc) . Please do not use Christ's name to beg for murderers.
ReplyDeleteAn eye for an eye I stand. The cult leader rev King must die. Let him go and have his share of what he did to those his late members whose souls would not rest untill this animal in human skin is led in chains to the galous. he was not a pastor and will never be. Gov Ambode sir,pls do the needful asap cos the more he occupy space in our crouded prison the more his devilish influece grows. IGP kindly place thos his members who called themselves youth for Christ under survielance.Blood for blood.
ReplyDeleteHe kills by the sword must go by the sword also.
ReplyDeleteThis group must be one singled out by king's remaining cultist to front a campaign for release of their chief priest. Don't also forget that the bible also said " suffer not a witch to live". Let us be careful of our support for evil because every man will give account if his words. Period!!!
PMB,Buhari, Governor Ambode, Kindly take note of the above comments.Everybody here wants Reverend King to be Killed by hanging and that is what he deserves.You are wasting too much time at the expence of reverend kings victim.Please carry out this punishment immediately on him.Just must be done pls.Fake pastors,be warned.
