Enugu Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has announced a one-month shutdown of the Adoration Ministry.

The Priest made the announcement in a notice on Tuesday morning.

The ministry sent out an alert on Tuesday morning to members that Fr. Mbaka was proceeding on the one-month private prayer retreat.

The statement reads: “Our Spiritual Director, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka wishes to inform his beloved adorers that he has embarked on a private prayer retreat that will end on 10th June 2021.

“Consequently, no ministry activities shall be held in the ministry ground pending his return.

“He directs that members of the ministry are to observe this period of his retreat as they used to do during the usual January breaks of the ministry, by praying at their homes, being charitable and fasting according to their ability. Adoration! Holy Spirit is our Power.”

The New Diplomat had reported that tension had escalated over the sudden disappearance of Mbaka, Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu as his faithfuls and the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) raised alarm over the whereabouts of the fiery cleric.

But the Catholic priest reappeared at about 2:50 pm on Wednesday. His appearance led to a dramatic turn of events as protests by his supporters quickly turned to jubilation.

Mbaka who berated the President over the current security situation in the country called for his resignation, stating that he is not fit to lead the country.

However, presidency in its reaction claimed that the priest was only upset about the refusal by Buhari to award him the contract he pleaded for. The presidency stated that the priest came to demand for contract as a reward for supporting Buhari in the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections.
