CAPITAL POST last week reported that Enugu Catholic Diocese has summoned father Mbaka over a running battle with the government of the day which was considered an affront on the Church.
The Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Callistus Onaga has demanded that Mbaka should stay away for one month.
On Tuesday (today), Adoration Ministry in a notice to members stated that Father Mbaka would be proceeding on one month prayer retreat, hence, he will be unavailable for that period, a development that might not be unconnected with the wishes of Catholic authority.
“Our Spiritual Director, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka wishes to inform his beloved adorers that he has embarked on a private prayer retreat that will end on 10th June 2021.
“Consequently, no ministry activities shall be held in the ministry ground pending his return.
“He directs that members of the ministry are to observe this period of his retreat as they used to do during the usual January breaks of the ministry, by praying at their homes, being charitable and fasting according to their ability. Adoration! Holy Spirit is our Power.”
It is recalled that the initial uncertainties surrounding Father Mbaka’s whereabout caused some protests last week in Enugu.
