We present an alternative and simple method for the exact solution of the Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of the noncentral equal scalar and vector potentials by using Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The exact bound state energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions are obtained for a particle bound in a potential of V(r,theta)=alpha/r+beta/(r(2) sin(2) theta)+gamma cos theta/(r(2) sin(2) theta) type.
