The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, has condemned the invasion by protesting youths and women of Bishop’s Court at Igboeze Street Independence Layout and Holy Ghost Cathedral, Enugu last Wednesday.
Mbaka, who kneeled down while celebrating mass at adoration ground on Sunday in Enugu, begged for forgiveness from the Bishop, Most Reverend Calistus Onaga and all Catholic Church.
Recall that there was tension in Enugu on Wednesday as Mbaka’s followers occupied the streets after they declared him missing.
They marched from the Adoration ground in Emene, Enugu, to the Bishop’s Court at Igboeze Street, Independence Layout Enugu where they destroyed some parts of the building.
The protesters did not stop at that as they also headed for the Holy Ghost Cathedral where several church facilities were vandalized.
Mbaka, later appeared, addressed his followers and said that he would have been kept incommunicado by the Bishop for thirty days but for their protest.
Mbaka, who warned his followers against the destruction of Catholic Church properties, said that he never sent his followers to embark on such destruction.
He said: “I want to plead with my Bishop and Catholic Church over the ugly incident which occurred last week Wednesday. I will never disrespect my Bishop because I’m under him.
“Bishop and I never had any misunderstanding and we would continue to work together to win souls and preach the gospel to the people,” he said.
