Father Mbaka Removed From Adoration Ministry As Worshippers Attack Priest Brought
SaharaReporters earlier reported that Fr Mbaka on Thursday announced in a statement that Adoration Ministry activities would resume on Sunday.
There are indications that the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka will no longer be in charge and officiate liturgical activities at the Adoration chaplaincy.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that Fr Mbaka on Thursday announced in a statement that Adoration Ministry activities would resume on Sunday.
However, SaharaReporters gathered that drama unfolded as an attempt to replace Mbaka with another priest by the Enugu Catholic Bishop Callistus Onaga was resisted on Sunday as the congregation attempted to mob the new priest.
Mbaka had barely announced his successor when Adoration faithful who had thronged the Emene ground to receive him after about three months of suspension went wild in protest.
They were shocked by the transfer of Mbaka after months of suspension and vehemently rejected the new Chaplain.
SaharaReporters learnt that the revolt was soon directed at the new priest identified as Fr. Anthony Amadi, who had to be whisked away as the crowd surged to attack him.
Mbaka according to sources will be going to a monastery for the time being.
Meanwhile, some of the Adoration faithful, who spoke to SaharaReporters have vowed that no other priest would be welcome to the Chaplaincy, alleging a gang-up from certain quarters in the church against Mbaka.
The Catholic Bishop of the diocese, Most Rev Onaga, on June 3 banned Fr Mbaka from commenting on partisan politics.
Shortly after the initial ban was lifted, Mbaka violated the ban and verbally attacked Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, describing him as a 'stingy man'.
Following outrage and condemnation that trailed the attack on Obi, the Bishop issued a pastoral injunction on attendance to Catholic Adoration Ministry Chaplaincy Enugu, and enjoined all Catholics to stop visiting the ministry till further notice.
The Bishop also advised the Catholic faithful to pray for Mbaka.
Onaga had said, "In the light of the happenings in the Catholic Adoration Ministry Chaplaincy Enugu; capable of undermining the Catholic faith and teachings; and after several fraternal corrections and admonitions to Fr. Camillus Ejike Mbaka, the Chaplain of the Ministry; and after having given him pastoral directives and guidelines for the Ministry Chaplaincy, which he persistently violated.
"And in fulfilment of my pastoral duties as the Chief Shepherd with the obligation to promote and safeguard the Catholic faith and morals in Enugu Diocese, I hereby prohibit all Catholics (clergy, religious and lay faithful) henceforth from attending all religious and liturgical activities of the Catholic Adoration Ministry until the due canonical process initiated by the Diocese is concluded.
"My decision is based on the fact that some of the teachings and utterances of Fr. Camillus Ejike Mbaka at the Catholic Adoration Ministry are not consistent with the teachings and faith of the Catholic Church."

Gospel Singer, Tim Godfrey Healed Of Paralysis After Scientists told Him His Bones Are 20 Years Older Than His Age (Photo, Video)
Gospel singer Tim Godfrey has taken to Instagram to celebrate being healed of paralysis, IGBERETV reports.
Godfrey who revealed that he was admitted in a hospital after getting "hellish" pains on his back and arms, added that scientists told him his bones are 20 years older than his age after he went in for MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
He said he was told his bones shows he's over 60-years-old while he's in his 40s. He further revealed that he was also told his spinal cord disc had shifted, among other things.
The gospel singer who said he went through treatments and intensive prayers, expressed gratitude to God for the gift of healing.
He wrote;
"This picture right here was when I was admitted in the hospital. It started with me feeling some pain at my back, then a hellish pain in my arms.
I went for an MRI and the scientists told me that my bones were 20 years older than my age—over 60 years old when I’m in my 40s. They also told me that my spinal cord disc had shifted and all these other complicated things all happening to me at the same time.
I was always in pain. Sometimes I would hold my hand to my face and cry so badly. They told me that I had overstretched my body and a lot of other evil reports.
But as the song says when there is a chance for evil, God turns it for good. I went home after some treatments and intensive prayers believing that I am healed and it is so.
Right now I’m really grateful to God for the gift of healing. I imagine the plan of the enemy was that I’ll be paralyzed but God turned it around.
To you reading this, God is turning that situation around for your good. No matter the report of the enemy concerning your life, the report of the lord says - he’s turning everything in your Favour!

Niger Delta Creekmen Kick Against Awarding N4bn A Month Oil Contracts To Tompolo (Video)
E nor go happen- Niger Delta Creekmen kick against awarding N4bn a month oil pipeline surveillance contracts to Tompolo, demand inclusion in the contract
An armed group in the creeks of the Niger Delta hasve kicked against the decision of the Federal government to award a multi-million dollar pipeline surveillance contract to a former militant leader and Commander of the defunct Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, IGBERETV reports.
The Federal government and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited recently signed the deal with Tompolo in a bid to end illegal bunkering, illegal refining, and other forms of oil theft in the Niger Delta region.
According to reports, the deal with Tompolo is worth over N4 billion monthly. Insiders say the duties of the former MEND commander will be to monitor and oversee other surveillance contracts, contractors and their activities in the entire Niger Delta.
While some Nigerians have applauded this move as it will help eliminate oil theft and increase the revenue of the country, other armed men in the creeks of the Niger Delta have said the contract cannot be solely awarded to Tompolo.
In an interview with Arise TV, a group of armed men who refer to themselves as the Creek Men expressed dissatisfaction over their exclusion from the contract. They are demanding inclusion in the pipeline surveillance contract.
