Founder of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu-based Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, on Thursday cried out, calling on the security agencies to protect him following alleged threats on his life.
He equally said President Goodluck Jonathan should be responsible, should anything happen to him.
The cleric has accused the President, and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, of being behind the alleged assassination plot.
According to Mbaka, Jonathan decided to kill him after he (Mbaka) preached against the President’s re-election in a New Year Eve message at the Adoration Ground titled ‘From Good Luck To Bad Luck’.
After alleging that Jonathan and Patience were planning to kill him in a recent sermon in his church, the cleric has now cried out for protection through a statement issued by the Adoration Ministry.
The message, which was made available to our correspondent, was issued by the media officer of the ministry, Barr. Ike Maximus Ugwuoke.
In the statement, which was titled ‘Jonathan Wants Me Dead Before The 2015 Elections’, Mbaka said the police had refused to act on the allegation he made.
The statement expressed concern at the insistence of the Enugu State Police Command that there was no report of any threat to Mbaka’s life.
Parts of the statement read, “It is with a deep sense of concern that we are constrained to make this statement on the continued threat to the life of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka over his 2015 New Year message titled “From Good Luck to Bad Luck”.
“The Enugu State Police Command has refuted claims by Fr. Mbaka that his life is in danger.
“It dismissed Fr. Mbaka’s outcry over threat to his life as baseless.
“The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ebere Amarizu , DSP, was quoted as saying, “We do not have any report by Fr. Mbaka over threat to his life. We have not received any complaint from him.”
“On the backdrop of the above, one begins to wonder whether the alarm raised by Fr. Mbaka on an alleged plot to kill him was a mere rhetoric as the police had made it to appear, merely because there has not been an official report to the police over it.
“Absence of a formal report on threat to one’s life doesn’t negate the reality of such threat more so when the victim had made a public outcry on this issue.
“To argue otherwise is akin to denying the fact of death in the face of a man’s corpse merely because there is no certificate certifying his death.
“Rev Fr. Mbaka had consistently in his public outings been raising the alarm over threat to his life and strange calls and messages threatening to assassinate him.
“The last of these was his assertion that assassins from the Presidency had been engaged to exterminate his life before the 28th March 2015 election. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteI THINK IT IS HIGH TIME FOR THE ROMAN CATHOLIC HEADS TO CALL MBAKA TO ORDER AND PUT A STOP TO THESE MADNESS. ENOUGH OF THESE NONSENSICAL NONSENSE. WHO IS SUCH A FOOL NOT TO KNOW THAT MBAKA'S CONTINUES BASELESS AND UNWARRANTED ATTACKS ON POLITICIANS ESPECIALLY THAT ON THE PRESIDENT WILL OPEN DOORS OF THREATS AND IF POSSIBLE ATTACKS ON HIM BY THE ENEMIES OF GOODLUCK AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE ATTACK IS COMING FROM THE PRESIDENT SO AS TO TARNISH HIS IMAGE AND REPUTATION AND SCORE CHEEP POLITICAL GOALS AGAINST HIM; ESPECIALLY IN THIS CRITICAL TRYING MOMENTS THE ENEMIES OF OUR DEMOCRACY ARE FIGHTING VEHEMENTLY TO TRUNCATE OUR 16 YEARS OF DEMOCRACY AS THE DID BEFORE IN 1983. WHO IS MBAKA TO GOODLUCK AND OF WHAT BENEFIT WILL HE WANT TO KILL MBAKA? WE CAN NO LONGER KEEP QUIT AND WATCH MBAKA INSULT OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE. MBAKA SHOULD BETTER GO AND STUDY HIS BIBLE, ROMANS 13:1-7 TO BE PRECISED AND SEE HOW HE HAD CONSTANTLY RESISTED THE ORDINANCES OF GOD. MBAKA IS NOT THE ONLY MAN OF GOD IN NIGERIA, NEITHER IS HE MORE POWERFUL THAN OTHERS. I THEREFORE ADVISE HE RESPECT THE OIL ON HIS HEAD AND APOLOgGISE TO NIGERIANS OR BETTER SHUT HIS MOUTH HENCEFORTH. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
