If feelers reaching us is anything to go by, the self-acclaimed Jesus Christ of the Latter Days who goes about with as so many sobriquet as His Holiness, His Eminence, His Majesty, Doctor, Pastor, Prophet and more may at last pay the ultimate price for his crime as he is due to answer the hangman’s noose in few weeks’ time.
Our investigation revealed that the acclaimed man of God, who until the death sentence was pronounced on him, was the founder and General Overseer of Christian Praying Assembly (CPA) World Wide, will be hanged alongside seven hundred and ninety-nine other condemned inmates scattered across the country.
It will be recalled that the controversial man of God was alleged to have sprayed six erring members of his Church with the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) before setting them alight sometime in July 22nd 2006, which resulted in the death of one Miss Ann Uzor, while others who survived have various degree of burns in the horrendous encounter with their Pastor.
An insider account has it that trouble started for the six members when the amorous affair between the late Ann who was a secret bedmate of the bearded Preacher and a cameraman in the service of the church came to limelight.
The development according to the account, was said to have infuriated King who felt insulted that someone who was warming his bed could have the effrontery to also share herself with a cameraman in his service. He was said to have promptly set up an investigation panel presided over by him and those facing the panel includes those who were said to be privy to the secret affair between Ann and the cameraman.
Their offence, for which they have to be severely punished for, was that they failed to communicate what they have been watching to his ears.And so their punishment was the ‘baptism of fire’ this time not the Holy Spirit, but fire via Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). Their pleas of innocence and for forgiveness fell on deaf ears as the visibly enraged King ordered his guilty members to be soaked with the liquid fuel and thereafter set ablaze amidst wailing and pain.
Some helpless and hapless members, who watched the gory and barbaric act but could neither help the now human bonfire, were later called in by their leader to help put out the fire in an action that must have stemmed from his realizing the gravity of what he had just done. Help however came too late for Ann Uzor as she was said to have given up the ghost.
His immediate reaction to the living fire into which he turned his members shocked those who watched the scenario from the distance, as he became panicky and offered to convey them himself to the Hospital for medical attention.
However in bid to exonerate himself from the barbaric act, he had informed the medical staff, who were on ground to receive his deadly parcel, that they were victims of generator explosion.
Nemesis however played a fast one on him as the family of the victims got the actual report of what happened to their siblings and informed the authorities who promptly swung into action by arraigning the acclaimed messiah in court.
After a prolong trial and in spite of some behavior that should have earned contempt of court, he was sentence to death by hanging.
