Popular Catholic Priest cum Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka’s shocking transfer has been greeted with mixed reactions on social media.
Mbaka was said to have been moved from Adoration Ministry to Monastery, moments after the church was re-opened.
However, in a statement by the National Director of Social Communications, Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN), Padre Mike Nsikak Umoh who quoted the Director of Communications, Enugu Diocese, Rev. Fr. Benjamin Achi, he said;
“It was recommended that Fr. Mbaka takes time away in solitude, in order to listen to what the Spirit of God has to tell him, he was allowed to propose a priest to administer, in the interim, to the faithful at the Adoration Ministry.”
“What every true Christian, and especially every true Catholic, should do at this moment is to commit our dear brother and priest, Fr. Mbaka, to God in prayer so that he may, through this moment, encounter God specially, come out stronger and better in recognizing His will for him and gain more graces to channel those rare gifts for His glory and for the sanctification of the people of God and society at large.”
According to insiders, Mbaka will be away till next year.
Besides, Mbaka has been replaced by another priest, Rev. Fr. Anthony Amadi to oversee the Adoration Ministry.
