Real reason Fr Mbaka was suspended

Fresh facts have emerged over the suspension of the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, Rev Father Ejike Mbaka, by the Catholic Diocese of Enugu.

IDOMA VOICE reports that Mbaka was suspended by the Diocese for one month.

SaharaReporters learnt from sources in the Catholic Diocese that the Reverend Father was suspended not because of his political missiles towards the Muhammadu Buhari government.

A source stated that Mbaka was suspended rather for allegedly inciting his congregation to lead a protest and vandalising the residence of the Enugu Catholic Bishop, Most Rev Callistus Onaga and for showing support for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

“Who told you that the Enugu Catholic community does not like how Mbaka is criticising the Buhari presidency? Has the conference of Catholic Bishops not many times in the past also voiced out their criticisms of the ineptitude and inefficiency of the present government?

“The Catholic Church suspended Father Mbaka over the assault on his boss, the Bishop of Enugu,” the source stated.

Another source added that Mbaka was suspended for making inflammatory political remarks, especially by making his support for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, “ridiculously obvious.”

“Do you know that the Catholic Church suspended Father Mbaka not because he was intensifying his criticism of Buhari? But it was because of his too many prophecies and confusing utterances especially about his deep love for Kanu publicly. That looks like drumming for secession, which deviates from the Catholic norms to promote good governance and peace,” another source added.
