Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has shut down Adoration Ministry following the worship ban placed on it by Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Bishop Calistus Onaga.
ThisNigeria reported that Onaga had restricted Catholic faithful from worshipping at Mbaka’s Ministry following his verbal attack on Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
“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.
Complying with the directive, Mbaka announced via Facebook that there would be no worship at his ministry until further notice.
“Dear Adorers, There will be no program starting from tomorrow being 19th June 2022 at Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria Amen, Umuchigbo Emene, Enugu State.
“Sunday Mass, Wednesday (E No Dey) And Night Programs will not hold till further notice.
