Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, has resurfaced after his whereabouts caused confusion through Enugu on Wednesday, leading to widespread protests in the city.
He is yet to shed light on his whereabouts since disappearing from his known haunts after keeping an appointment on Tuesday with his superior, the Bishop of Enugu Catholic Diocese, Bishop Callistus Onaga.
A mass protest on Wednesday had taken over major streets of Enugu, as the city’s popular Catholic Priest disappeared without trace, amidst rumours that he had been captured and whisked away to an unknown place by unknown gun-toting men.
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) demanded the release of the outspoken Priest, who runs the popular Adoration Ministry, Enugu.
Last week, Mbaka had said God instructed him to withdraw his support from President Muhammadu Buhari, whom he had used his pulpit to campaign for in 2015 and 2019, and to ask him to resign for mishandling and mismanaging the country’s security crisis.
However, the Department of State Security (DSS) has washed its hands off the disappearance of Mbaka, saying he was not in the agency’s custody.
In a statement issued by the President-General of OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the group gave 48 hours for government to produce Mbaka, whom, it said, was last seen on Tuesday, following which every effort to trace him had failed.
