Rev Fr Mbaka
By CHARLES IWUOHA, Enugu
Over 10,000 Supporters of Adoration ministry in Enugu on Wednesday, took to the streets protesting the alleged disappearance of their Spiritual Director, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
The news of Mbaka’s alleged disappearance was broken on Wednesday morning through a statement fromOhanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council World-wide.
Mbaka, who last week asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign or be impeached, was attacked by the Presidency while responding to the call.
The Presidency had claimed that the cleric was attacking Buhari because he was denied a contract.
News Express learnt of a notice calling on all youths of Mbaka's ministry to the Adoration ground this morning.
The message, obtained by News Express, reads: “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 Bishops 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.”
The parishioners have stormed the Bishop’s Court demanding that Bishop Calistus Onaga of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu should produce Mbaka.
Policemen are having hectic time trying to control the protesters, as some of them are already vandalizing household items.
