Enugu Catholic Bishop Transfers Mbaka To Monastery

The Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev Callistus Onaga, has transferred the Chaplain and Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry Chaplaincy, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, to a monastery.

Rev Fr Anthony Amadi has replaced Mr Mbaka as Chaplain of the Adoration Ministry Chaplaincy.

Fr. Mbaka’s followers, however, are rebelling against the decision, as the new Chaplain, Fr. Amadi, was reportedly chased out of the ministry by adorers as Mbaka’s followers are fondly called, according to a report by The Punch on Monday.

On June 3, the Catholic Diocese of Enugu had banned Mbaka from commenting on Political issues after activities in the ministry were suspended.

Upon reopening, the church turned the ministry into Chaplaincy to give greater roll and to power monitor excesses in the ministry.

Shortly thereafter, Fr. Mbaka violated all the conditions and rules set out for the Chaplaincy, and went into verbal attack on the person of Peter Obi, calling him names in pulpit.

Sequel to the outrage that followed, Bishop Onaga issued a pastoral injunction directing all Catholic faithful, priests, sisters, religious to stop visiting the ministry until further notice.

The Bishop also advised Catholic faithful to pray for Mbaka.
