Fr Ejike Mbaka
Charismatic Enugu priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has disclosed that the authorities of the Enugu Catholic Diocese were behind his two days ordeal.
A protest erupted in Enugu on Wednesday over the reported missing of the Catholic Cleric.
Mbaka, who addressed his parishioners at the Adoration ground in Umuchigbo Nike, Enugu, shortly after he was set free, said he was summoned by the Bishop from where he was kept incommunicado.
He alleged that the plan was to keep him for 30 days.
According to the fiery Priest, a lot of issues were presented against him after which the Church leadership led by Bishop Calistus Onaga told him that he would remain indoors for one month, a period that would allow him pray and meditate over his activities.
