Rev Fr Mbaka’s Adoration Ministry Enugu, has been shut down for a period of one month.

Church members who prefer anonymity say that the move might not be unconnected with a directive given last week by the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Bishop Callistus Onaga.

Mbaka made the news rounds last week after he called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign and mocked Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.

The issues were compounded when members of Adoration Ministry staged a protest against an alleged disappearance of the Reverend Father. They alleged that the incident was as a result of Mbaka’s comments about the unsatisfactory governance in the land.

However, in a statement today, Tuesday, the Ministry informed members of the church and the general public that Rev Fr Mbaka is proceeding on a one-month private prayer retreat.

Excerpt of the statement:

“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 during the usual January breaks of the ministry, by praying in their homes, being charitable and fasting according to their ability. Adoration ! Holy Spirit Power.”
