Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, a charismatic priest from Enugu, has been removed from the Adoration Ministry.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the Church’s latest decision is already generating protests from Mbaka’s followers.
The Adoration Ministry, which was shut down three months ago, was re-opened yesterday, Sunday.
However, Rev. Fr. Anthony Amadi, a member of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu’s clergy, has been appointed to take over the Adoration Ministry in Fr. Mbaka’s place.
Mbaka has been sent to Monastery.
A top member of the ministry, who confirmed the posting to DAILY POST, said the development was unfortunate.
According to him, “all along, the Bishop has been trying to take over the Adoration Ministry. But I can assure you that no priest will succeed there. So long as Fr. Mbaka is not there, nobody will come there to worship.
“This will lead to anarchy. It’s unthinkable that this kind of harsh decision could be made. We the adorers will never accept any other priest.
“Fr. Mbaka suffered and built that place will sole effort. Now they have tactically hijacked the place through the backyard. Let’s see how they will succeed.”
