Father Mbaka demands Nnamdi Kanu’s release

The founder and Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria, AMEN, Ejike Mbaka, has called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Fr Mbaka had earlier incurred the wrath of ecclesiastical and civil authorities when he had imparted blessing on Kanu describing him as a freedom fighter.

That came as a surprise as Fr Mbaka had been a strong supporter of the Buhari government which is at daggers drawn with IPOB and Kanu.

During a sermon in the Sunday Mass, the fiery Enugu Catholic priest said he had made the request when agents of the government, whom he did not mention, came calling with some juicy offers to him which he had refused.

“Some persons came to me some time ago, that they have two slots for me. I told them I don’t need such an offer because I have a slot that I need. They said I should mention what I need,” he recalled.

“My first request was that they should release Nnamdi Kanu because since you people arrested him, we have lost many lives, so of what use is his arrest if after he was arrested, kidnapping hasn’t stopped in the North, thus, arresting him doesn’t solve the problem,” he argued.

The fiery cleric also asked, “Has anybody seen Nnamdi Kanu kill anybody? He’s not a murderer. Have they caught him with guns, so why arrest him”?

Stating all these while speaking to his congregation last Sunday, Fr Mbaka asked where the nation’s security agencies were when several students were kidnapped and urged the government to use the same energy used in arresting Kanu to arrest kidnappers.

The priest also attributed the rise in criminality to the activities of the politicians that purchased arms for them, even as he advised the government to use the same temerity used in arresting Kanu to arrest insecurity, poverty, unemployment, activities of herdsmen, injustice and pragmatic nepotism.
