Father Mbaka speaks about alleged assassination attempt on him

- Father Ejike Mbaka has spoken on the alleged assassination attempt on him

- Mbaka, the Fiery Catholic priest and the spiritual director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, stated that the assassination attempt was true

- The state police command, however, said it has commenced a full scale investigation into the matter

Fiery Catholic priest and the spiritual director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu (AMEN), Father Ejike Mbaka, on Monday, December 10, explained that the alleged assassination attempt on him was real.

The Nation reports that Mbaka maintained that “agents of darkness” were after him, going by the reactions that trailed the alleged assassination attempt.

In a statement by his media aide, Ike Maximus Ugwuoke, the cleric absolved the Catholic Church of having a hand in the alleged assassination attempt.

The statement reads: “The report in a section of the media that Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria ‘fingers the Church on his alleged assassination’ is a false and a sensational headline curled by mischief makers for whatever ends and it is hereby refuted.

“First, the assassination plot against Fr. Mbaka was not a mere ‘allegation’ or claim, as reported in the media, but an established fact. The impact of the bullet on his car, which the security agents have confirmed, is there for all who care to see. It is also ridiculous that two fictitious characters masquerading as concerned Catholics could go wild to insinuate in the media that Fr. Mbaka planned his own assassination to curry public sympathy and presidential favour.

“Such statement depicts how far mischief makers can go in trivialising issues as important as the human life and their absolute lack of fear of God. The statement calls to question the level of concern of such ‘Concerned Catholics’ in such a matter involving the life of a Catholic priest. We call on security agencies to investigate the source of such report as the makers of the report or their pay masters may have some useful information to give them in their investigation into the incident.

“We challenge the two impostors claiming to be writing for the ‘Concerned Catholics’ to come forward with their real identity, parish addresses and contacts to prove the point that they exist and that they are Catholics.

“We state categorically that in all efforts made to inquire from Fr. Mbaka the person or persons behind the gun attack at him, he never at any time named anyone or pointed accusing finger at anyone as the sponsor of his assassination plot, be it the Catholic Church or whomever.

“It is wrong and out of context to ascribe to Mbaka any deductions made by any person or group of persons, or associations or followers of Mbaka on the issue whether verbally or in prints. Such persons or group of persons may be freely expressing their sentiments on the issue but they are not speaking for Fr Mbaka and should not be taken or quoted as speaking for Mbaka”

The state police commissioner, Mohammed Danmallam, gave the directive for investigation when he visited the cleric in company of other senior police officers at the Adoration ground, Umuchigbo, in Enugu.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Enugu state police command on Monday, December 10, commenced a full scale investigation into alleged attempted assassination of the spiritual director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.

Mbaka on December 6, alleged that there was an attempt to assassinate him. Mbaka, a very popular Catholic cleric in Nigeria, claimed that some unidentified gunmen fired gun shots at his vehicle, in transit within the state.
