Fr Mbaka Shuts Adoration Ministry

The spiritual director of Adoration Ministries Enugu Nigeria’ (AMEN), Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, on Tuesday suspended all prayer activities at the Adoration ground, located at Emene, Enugu.

The closure will elapse after a month, a statement from the centre said.

It said Fr Mbaka would use the period to embark on ‘a private prayer retreat’.

The statement reads, “Our spiritual director, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, wishes to inform his beloved adorers that he has embarked on a private 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.”

Mbaka was suspended by his bishop for a month after his supporters destroyed some property in the Bishop’s house when he (Mbaka) was declared missing by the Ohanaeze Youth Council Worldwide.

Mbaka had since apologized. He said the search was hijacked by non-Catholics.
