The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, on
Wednesday raised the alarm over the whereabouts of the fiery Enugu priest, Rev.
Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
The cleric of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has been in the
news after he asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
This was followed by a revelation by the presidency that he
was attacking Buhari because he was refused a contract.
Ohanaeze Youth Council has now claimed that the priest was missing.
In a statement issued by the President-General of OYC, Mazi
Okwu Nnabuike, he said Mbaka was last seen on Tuesday, adding that every effort
to trace him had failed.
“We have it on good authority that his aides have neither
seen nor heard from him since Tuesday.
“Calls put to his mobile line have also remained unanswered;
this has now prompted us to issue this alarm as we would not take it lightly
should anything untoward happen to him.
“We are giving the Federal Government 48 hours to produce
the priest, else they should be ready to face Igbo youths. They were dining and
wining with him all along and now that he told the truth, they are no longer
comfortable with him.
“Let nothing happen to Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka. It will not be
in anybody’s interest,” the group warned.
Meanwhile, close aides of the
Catholic Cleric were contacted but they declined comment, noting that the picture was not
clear yet.
“Today is the Wednesday programme, ‘E no dey again’, if he
don’t officiate, it will then be clear that something is wrong,” one of them
said.
But a source who refused to be named disclosed that he was
last seen yesterday, Tuesday, when he departed to honour an invitation by his
Bishop.
It was also learnt that following the apprehension, all
the youths of the ministry have been summoned to the Adoration ground.
The message inviting the youths to the Adoration ground,
obtained read, “Important!
“Good morning friends and well-wishers. Please if you know
you stand for justice and you do not want the lone voice that speaks for the
poor in this country to be silenced, gather at Adoration ground let’s go for a
protest at the Bishops court.
“Fr. Mbaka is nowhere to be found. He went yesterday to
answer the Bishop’s call and up till now, he’s not taking his calls. Let’s
gather! SSG.”
