Reports reaching ITREALMS has it that the coal city has been rocked with protest by the supporters of the Enugu-based priest, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Enugu State.
ITREALMS gathered that Fr. Mbaka has been missing in action from his Adoration Ministry ground after he purportedly visited the Catholic Bishop of Enugu, Most Rev. Calistus Onaga on Tuesday and has not been seen at the time of filing this report.
This ‘disappearance’ ITREALMS gathered, led to members of
the Adoration Ministry, especially the youth on Wednesday took to the street of
Enugu to protest Fr. Mbaka’s whereabouts.
Earlier, DAILYPOST had reported that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) raised
the alarm that
the priest was missing.
ITREALMS recalls that Fr. Mbaka was in the news lately for
asking Nigeria President, General Muhammadu Buhari, retired, to resign or be
impeached for failure to live up to his responsibility as president of a
country, this however did not go down well with presidency who retorted that he
had visited Aso Rock with some contractors and some stalwarts of All
Progressive Congress (APC) threatening to report Fr. Mbaka to the Catholic Pontiff.
Also, ITREALMS recalls that Fr. Ejike Mbaka
was a major voice in campaigning for APC and enthronement of General Buhari as
President in 2015 and 2019.
By
noon on Wednesday, ITREALMS reliably gathered that protest
broke at the coal city over Fr. Mbaka’s disappearance as he has not picked
calls since last seen early Tuesday.
Equally,
ITREALMS
sighted a purported notice summoning all youths of the ministry to the Adoration
ground with an urgency.
Part
of the notice read:
“Important!“ Good morning friends and well-wishers. Please if you
know you stand for justice and you do not want the lone voice that speaks for
the poor in this country to be silenced, gather at Adoration ground let’s go
for a protest at the Bishop’s court.
“Fr. Mbaka is nowhere to be found. He went yesterday to answer the
Bishop’s call and up till now, he’s not taking his calls. Let’s gather! SSG.”
Further,
ITREALMS
gathered that followers of Adoration Group stormed the Bishop’s Court demanding
that he produces Fr. Mbaka.
