The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, has distanced himself from the protest against the ban on the ministry.
Church members at the Adoration Ministry in Enugu on Sunday protested against the ban on the ministry by the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most. Rev. Callistus Onaga.
They took to the streets of Umuchigbo on the outskirts of Enugu metropolis to protest the ban on the ministry by Most. Rev. Ogaga.
On Saturday, Bishop Onaga in his pastoral injunction banned all Catholics from visiting the ministry till further notice following the priest’s scathing remark on the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party,
Mbaka said in a statement that he personally signed on Monday that he is not in any way involved in the protest against the ban and that he received with obedience the directive of the Bishop.
He appealed to the faithful especially members of the Adoration Ministry to be calm and refrain from measures of violence.
Except of the statement:
“Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria is ever submissive to the mother Church. I enjoin all Adorers to know this and remain constantly in prayers for the manifestation of the will of God in the life of the Ministry.
“The life of the Adoration Ministry is in the hands of God under the direction of the Chief Shepherd of the Diocese,”
