BREAKING: Heavy Protest in Enugu over Closure of Mbaka’s Adoration Ground

Members of Adoration Ministries, Enugu are currently protesting the closure of the church presided over by Father Ejike Camillus Mbaka.

Mbaka’s Church was shut down following the massive outcry that followed his condemnation of the Presidential Candidate of the Labour party and Former Anambra Governor, Peter Obi. Mbaka got into hot water after branding obi a ‘cursed’ and ‘Stingy’ man.

Catholic faithful were barred from attending services at the church by the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev Callistus Onaga.

Onaga, in a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA wrote; “in the light of the happenings in the Catholic Adoration Ministry Chaplaincy Enugu; capable of undermining the Catholic faith and teachings; and after several fraternal corrections and admonitions to Fr. Camillus Ejike Mbaka, the Chaplain of the Ministry; and after having given him pastoral directives and guidelines for the Ministry Chaplaincy, which he persistently violated; and in fulfilment of my pastoral duties as the Chief Shepherd with the obligation to promote and safeguard the Catholic faith and morals in Enugu Diocese, I hereby prohibit all Catholics (clergy, religious and lay faithful) henceforth from attending all religious and liturgical activities of the Catholic Adoration Ministry until the due canonical process initiated by the Diocese is concluded.”

“My decision is based on the fact that some of the teachings and utterances of Fr. Camillus Ejike Mbaka at the Catholic Adoration Ministry are not consistent with the teachings and faith of the Catholic Church.”

However, in defiance of the Prohibition, hundreds of Mbaka’s admirers thronged the Adoration ground in protest against the bishop’s directive.”

Most of the followers who were with green leaves matched round the Adoration ground. They could be heard calling for the removal of Bishop Onaga.

One of them said, “It is Bishop Onaga that should be suspended and not Fr Ejike Mbaka.”
