Preacher to hang for burning church members

LAGOS, Nigeria — A high court in Nigeria has sentenced a preacher in Lagos to death by hanging for setting fire to six members of his congregation when they were accused of having extramarital sex. In July 2005, Emeka Ezeuko, who is known as "Reverend King," publicly accused six members of Christian Praying Assembly and then set them on fire, according to the British Broadcasting Corp. One of them, a woman named Ann Uzor, later died of her injuries. Ezeuko was convicted of one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder.
