King: Victim’s testimony on video camera phone, says witness

A pathologist from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Dr Sunday Sokunle Soyemi yesterday told an Ikeja High Court that late Miss Ann Uzor a member of Christian Praying Assembly (CPA) who was allegedly set ablaze resulting into her death by the founder of the church, Mr Emeka Ezeugo (Dr Rev. King) died from severe loss of body fluid following the third degree burns she had.

Dr Soyemi who gave evidence at the trial of Rev. King for murder and attempted murder performed the autopsy on the late Ann Uzor. The younger brother of the deceased, Mr Ifeanyi Uzor, also in his evidence before the court disclosed how his late sister made him record her testimony in a video camera phone on her hospital bed when she realised that she might die and told him that Rev. King had done his worst by killing her.

At the trial yesterday, Dr Soyemi who was led in evidence by Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions, Mrs Bola Okikiolu-Ighile, told the court that when the body of late Ann Uzor was brought to him for post mortem examination, he observed that the deceased had burns injuries on her face, neck, abdominal wall, both upper limbs and her thighs.

According to him, “death was caused by severe loss of body fluid as a result of the severe burns she had. There was no evidence of violence and there was nothing to suggest strangulation.�

In his own testimony, the younger brother of the deceased, Mr Ifeanyi Uzor said he: “when I got to the Faith Clinic Ajao Estate where she was admitted, she started crying and apologised for what she had caused the family. She told me Rev. King had killed her and had done her worst by setting her ablaze. She then asked for my camera phone handset to record what she was going to tell me because she didn’t know if she would survive as she was in severe pain which she never felt before in life. She told me to record her and keep in case something like this would come up.�

Hearing continues today.
