Members of Christian Praying Assembly (CPA) which was hitherto run by Chukwuemeka Ezeugo aka Reverend King, who was last Friday condemned to death by the Supreme court, have alleged that the apex's court final decision on the murder charges against him was the handiwork of witches and wizards.

According to the Nation, during the first church service after the Supreme Court decision at the Lagos headquarters of the church yesterday February 28th, one of the church Pastors, Ifeanyi King, who preached said

“Our G.O. (General Overseer) the most holiness, Rev King, is coming back. He said he would come back and we believe the words of his mouth. We believe his report that he is coming back. Everything happening now we know is the handiwork of witches and wizard. Soon a new story will emerge. Whether people realise it or not, everybody now knows his holiness, our G.O. Rev King. The front pages of newspapers are flooded with his name. People are yearning to read about him in the social media. I can confirm to you that by all these, a lot of people have become endeared to him. Our Daddy G.O. shall live forever for us in Jesus name".

They sang hymns and danced to mark Reverend King's birthday whose death sentence was confirmed on his birthday which was last Friday Feb 26th
