Charismatic Enugu Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has been transferred out from the Adoration Ministry in Enugu State, southeast Nigeria, where he was the Spiritual Director.
This online media understands that Father Mbaka removal from Adoration Ministry is already generating protest from followers of the controversial Catholic Priest.
The development is coming after the Adoration Ministry, which was shut down three months ago, was re-opened yesterday, Sunday, October 2, 2022.
Newsonspot learned that in the place of Father Mbaka, another clergy of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu, Rev. Fr. Anthony Amadi has been posted to take charge of the Adoration Ministry.

Mbaka has been sent to Monastery. The transfer is with immediate effect.
A top member of the ministry, who confirmed the posting, said the development was unfortunate.
According to him, “all along, the Bishop has been trying to take over the Adoration Ministry. But I can assure you that no priest will succeed there. So long as Fr. Mbaka is not there, nobody will come there to worship.
“This will lead to anarchy. It’s unthinkable that this kind of harsh decision could be made. We the adorers will never accept any other priest.“Fr. Mbaka suffered and built that place will sole effort. Now they have tactically hijacked the place through the backyard. Let’s see how they will succeed.”
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 that cannot be our President”.
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.
