The Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of has claimed that the authorities of the Enugu Catholic Diocese were behind his 2-day ordeal.
Mbaka was reported missing and it led to serious protests in Enugu state on Wednesday, 5th May, 2021.
The priest after he resurfaced, addressed his parishioners at the Adoration ground in Umuchigbo Nike, Enugu.
It was there he revealed he was summoned by the Bishop from where he was kept incommunicado.
He said the plan was to keep him for 30 days.
He said a lot of issues were presented against him after which the Church leadership, led by Bishop Calistus Onaga told him that he would remain indoors for a month, a period that would allow him pray and meditate over his activities.
The Cleric disclosed that he requested to be allowed the opportunity to come and address his parishioners after which he would shut down, “but they said No. I also begged them to allow me send another priest to come and celebrate mass for you today, they said No.”
Mbaka stated that Bishop Onaga upon seeing the protest over his predicament allowed him to go.
He said one of things presented against him was that he blessed Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
“Are you the owner of my mouth? You can’t tell me who to bless? If you are not happy that I blessed someone, you have your own mouth, you can curse the person,” he declared.
