365Daily – Speculations about the whereabouts of fiery Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, have been laid to rest as he has appeared in public following protests by his supporters in Enugu State.

The Priest arrived at the Catholic Bishop’s residence in a motorcade amidst jubilation from his Adoration faithful around 2.45pm.

He stopped in front of the Bishop’s Court and addressed his supporters, urging them to remain calm and return to the Adoration ground for further information.

Irate youths on Wednesday, May 5, 2021, vandalised the official residence of the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev. Callistus Onaga, in protest of the alleged arrest of Mbaka.

The irate youths suspected to be members of the Adoration Ministry and numbering over 1,000 stormed the residence of the Bishop located at Igboeze Street, Independence Layout.

They accused the Bishop of masterminding the alleged arrest of the priest by unidentified security personnel.

Some of the protesters said Mbaka was allegedly arrested over his recent comments against PresidentMuhamadu Buhari.

Mbaka is the founder and Director of the popular Adoration Ministries, Enugu and Parish Priest, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Emene.

The Clergyman’s supporters had given the DSS 48 hours to produce him or face the repercussions when he was declared missing earlier in the day.
