Members of the church of condemned man of God, Rev King, compare him to christ

Pastor Reverend Chukwuemeka Ezeuko aka Reverend King was arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to death by hanging in January 2007 for the death of one of his church members, a young girl named Ann, who he set ablaze by pouring fuel on her along with 6 other church members after accusing them of committing fornication in his church.
