CHARISMATIC Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has raised alarm over the alleged plot to assassinate him.
This is coming amidst controversies generated by Mbaka’s message last Sunday, which has attracted wide criticisms, including from the Catholic Bishops of Nigeria.
Mbaka through a statement signed by Chief Aka Emmanuel, President, National Adoration Family, Chief Okolo Godwin, President, Adoration Fathers’ Associations World Wide, Mrs Ann Aligwe,-President, Adoration Mothers’ Association World Wide, Chukwu Agoziem, President, Adoration Youths’ Association World Wide and Barr Ike Maximus Ugwuoke- Media Chief, said he was shot in Emene, near Enugu, the State capital.
The statement made available to reporters in Enugu on Saturday read: “It is with rude shock and utter surprise that we received the report of the attempted assassination plot of the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria last made Thursday evening by some unknown gunmen who fired gunshots at him on his way along Emene road Enugu.
“This incident has added to several other assassination plots targeted at Fr Mbaka since after the first plot that was carried out on him on his way from the Bishop’s house where he had gone to answer an impromptu call by his Bishop during the regime of Governor Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu State.
“This assassination plot against Fr Mbaka is coming barely few days after the 2018 Harvest and Bazaar of the Ministry whereat Fr Mbaka had come under massive media attack for asking Peter Obi, the PDP Vice Presidential Candidate for the 2019 General election who attended the Bazaar programme, to make public his support or donation for the Church Project of the Ministry.
“Many Supporters of Peter Obi and even clergies have misconstrued this as embarrassing to Peter Obi and to the Catholic Church and this has consequently given rise to the statement issued by the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) that same Thursday on the issue. The issue had lingered in spite of the apology, which Fr Mbaka in his characteristic humility had tendered at the altar to Peter Obi and anyone who may have been in any way form and kind been offended at the Bazaar event.
“We have refrained from making any official statement on the ongoing media attack against Fr Mbaka over the Baazar incident because he had held us from joining issues with the Church Clergies and hierarchies on the subject, but we cannot continue to keep silent especially now that the issue is taking the dimension of the plot to exterminate his life.
“We recall that the last time Fr Mbaka raised alarm over threat to exterminate him was in early 2015 when he faced a similar persecution by some church hierarchy and the PDP Government following his 31st December Prophecy of the imminent defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan led PDP Government by President Mohammadu Buhari at the 2015 General Election.
“Today, with the 2019 general election around the corner, it appears that history is repeating itself. The contemporaneousness of the recent attack of Fr Mbaka by gunmen with the Peter Obi and the CBCN saga leaves us to a safe conclusion that the attack on Fr Mbaka may have either been politically engineered or ecumenically endorsed, and thus we will not hesitate to call on the security agencies in this country to beam their searchlights and leave no stone unturned in getting to the root of this issue.
ALSO READ: Presidency should sensitize Nigerians on policies
“Fr Mbaka’s life means so much to us and many poor and voiceless Nigerians for whom he lives and so we cannot be silent on the face of any threat to his life real or perceived. The graphics narration of the sinister assassination plot as recounted by Fr Mbaka himself during the last Friday’s all night Adoration vigil should not be taken lightly and we charge the security agencies in this country to rise to the situation.
“We continue to thank God for His continuous miraculous protection of Fr Mbaka and for His Special Supernatural Security (SSS) of Fr Mbaka and the Adoration Ministry. We are by this medium sending a strong warning to wherever the assassination plot against Fr Mbaka is coming from, be it the politicians or their supporters or the Church that we shall not fold our hands and keep watching. We shall not only expose the source of this threat to the life of Fr Mbaka at the fullness of our investigations but we shall also match same with equal force in self-defence.
“While we have the faith that God will fight our cause, we believe even more in the defence of our faith through our good works and actions.”
That’s madness God will preserve his own.
nonsense they should kill you is better….
stay away from politics
Hmmm, Igbos with killing their own telling the truth
I think its about time this priest took his leave from making political statements especially those laced with personal emotions.
Nawah for this people ooo
Phamous Chris Odia and if not, you will kill him
What truth did he tell you, and how many Igbo do you know have killed their own for saying the truth?
Exposition 01
—A certain group of terrorists organised themselves for the sole aim of unleashing death on innocent Nigerians.
—The President tried at every given opportunity to convince the world that they are Libyans once armed by Gaddafi, avenging the death of Gaddafi.
—The president began to canvass that the ancestral lands of Nigerians being forcefully taken and given to these “Libyans” who invaded Nigeria.
—The people refused and instead urged the government to arrest and prosecute the Libyans killing them over their own lands.
–The people begged the government to arrest, prosecute, kill or allow them defend themselves against the “Libyans”.
–The government warned that anyone who touches any of the “Libyans” will be arrested and prosecuted instead.
—They killed, killed and are killing.
—Each time they killed, a group of herdsmen under the name “Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association” claimed responsibilities for the killings and at every point, they are given platforms to explain why they are killing with an early morning “tea cup”.
—The President kept claiming the killers are Libyans, even while the Nigeria herders association claimed responsibilities.
—Five young men ignored the government warning and killed one of the “Libyans” while they were carrying out attack in their community and killed 48 persons. They were arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to death by hanging within a very short period.
—To avoid further attempt to kill the “Libyans”, the armed forces of the government invaded the homes of all religious and traditional leaders in search of weapons. They found none. The idea was to dispossess them of all weapons of defence.
—The government went abroad to announce to the world that the only remedy to the killings is that all Nigerians must open up their lands to accommodate them and give unfettered access to their herds to feed on their farms.
—The people stood on their decisions. No going back.
—The government stood on her decisions. No going back.
—The killings continued. The few “Libyans” that were arrested after global cry were tactically released for lack of diligent prosecution. Note, the same government is the body responsible for prosecution.
—The “Libyans” were secretly called, given monetary compensation for their wrong prosecutions. One “height-challenged” Governor from the north couldn’t keep his mouth shut. He announced the gesture in pride.
—The “Libyans” were encouraged. This time they bought more sophisticated weapons to kill. They launched several attacks, displaced citizens off their lands, took over those lands and renamed them. As at today, over 52 communities have been captured and renamed by “Libyans”.
—There is a need to conquer more territories. They went for more.
—At a goal, the “Libyans” killed over 400 persons. The government spokesmen openly took over their defence. “You can’t rustle their cattle, block their pathways and expect them not to kill”, they told the world. “Leave your land if you don’t want to live under the land”, they admonished.
Now the twist:
—The government turned around claiming the killings are sponsored by opposition parties. They insist that they are political killings.
—A certain pastor decided to curse all those behind the killings.
—The opposition accused by the government are screaming “amen” to his prayers but the same government is calling for the arrest and prosecution of the pastor who is cursing “the opposition behind the killings”.
—The government is going from one place to another appealing that Nigerians give up their ancestral lands to the “Libyans” and the killers sponsored by “the opposition” if they want to stay alive.
—In the twist, the government has, shamelessly, given us 3 different narratives:
a. The killers are from Libya who took over specific places in Africa to avenge the death of Gaddafi;
b. The herdsmen are killing because they need grazing areas for their herds;
c. The opposition, especially PDP are sponsoring hoodlums to carry out the killings for political reasons.
In its effort to confuse us and the world, the government has ended up confusing itself.
Now tell me why even a coconut head cannot process what’s happening in Nigeria.
Anyway, my aim is to tell my story so history will not be twisted when it’s needed.
Good evening!

Nkiru Chukwuma ……..who’s this?……..Ur here commenting wen ur supposed to be preparing ur husband’s food before he returns…….
Tawhid, those names you mentioned do not have any superior leadership over them. Mbaka should adhere to the directives of his superiors in the Catholic church and refrain from being in the news all the time.
Stephen U. Osazuwa I have known your facebook name to always comment nonsense. Try and change your profile pics for once. I know you will still blame buhari and SW people for it
Fake news
Always claiming assassination attempts na today?
Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm! Anyone that touches Mbaka touch the heart of God
U deserved death 4 ur abnormal prophecy and stupid saying
Adebayo Abiodun Joseph, and what have i known you for? An idiotic moron who would always be an unflinching disciple of insanity. I especially remember you for being a cheap online scammer who had for a long time fruitlessly tried to dupe people with your fraudulent American Visa schemes. Cheap thief!
Ish, for ritual sef, your value no pass 10k Tradermoni wen Osinbajo de share. I be Catholic but Mbaka fall hand this time. Holy is Gods name, money and material are Mbakas name
No be u sing chineke ji bible horo ngbo.why u dey fear
Prince Rino, I don’t think its healthy to address a servant of God in that manner. Just an advice.
Why are you Disgracing the Body of Christ cos of Unbridled tongue that can ruins the Nation,not good enough Sir,you need transfer to Borno
Please stay away from politics. Remain in the church and pray for Nigeria.
Akiko
Stephen U. Osazuwa see how you are displaying ur hypocricy man…….You are just being biase and showing your level of hatred for Buhari…….Well,most of you ibos still have another four years to wail as usual……
Bankole Omoba, I don’t know why you people hate Igbos so much that it’s obvious, but I will leave you with this, the crime committed in Igbo land can’t be compared with that of your tribe.
Attention seeking scam
Distraction. Better stick to your apology. You can’t apologize in the day and hide under darkness to still attack the same person you apologized to. We are wiser
Story for the gods
Shey u hv mouth to talk, continue.
Shaikh Younuz Tawhid and what did you ‘whoever’ gain from the past how many years? Because I dont know if you are Chadian or Nigea…
Tawhid, I’m really sorry for replying you. You are just another dumb, unintelligent dude with all due respect. I usually make it a policy not to engage your type. For you not to know I’m not Igbo clearly says you are way below who I should be talking to. Don’t reply my comment again. Thank you!
When u become a politician what happen to them will happen to u too
Man of God !!! Pray against it, simple.
When Oyedepo talk against Buhari, u did not ask him to join politics, but when this man is saying something’s in favour of Buhari, u turn against him.Are u not in this country when Oritshajafor private plane was used to carried Nigeria currency to south Africa? What was the offence of Nbaka now.
He lied !!! It’s his shadow that’s chasing him.
Don’t dare insult PDP candidates the way you insulted Buhari and nothing happened,this people are into cultists and can do anything to assassinat you
This press statement is callous and grossly lacking in logic. How can you say the attack was politically or ecumenically motivated ? You are so myopic in your reasoning that you don’t understand that the enemies may capitalize on the current issue to further cause more harms so that people will think the attack is coming from the quarters you just mentioned. If it was politically motivated then,it must be from another party other than the PDP,and this must be calculated at just creating disaffection between Mbaka and PDP. And if it was ecumenically motivated,then,I am still wondering why the church would want to exterminate one of their owns.
Hmmm, nobody hates Igbos its you people that are demonstrating it your comments and actions for the other tribes and against the country at large. Love is reciprocal and hate also, you’ll get what you input in the system, that’s it.
Is lgbos killing Fr Mbaka for ritual like Yoruba people???
You are a man of God Almighty will continue to protect and guide you in Jesus Christ Name Amen One with God in majority
Is only money he said God need not bullet ooo
Which heart of God
You arn’t seen nothing yet… The power of Life and death are in the tongue and he who loves it shall eat the fruit there of…
What an ignorant comment…
Cheap lie.. Attention seeker
Looks like someone is crying wolf where there is non.
Like the pastor, seems to be inviting trouble. In Nigeria, if u invite trouble, you get plenty.
U are acting God so no weapon against u including gun will enter
If I call you slave now, you will say I’m insulting your father. Because he was a slave. Do you want want to end like your slave father?
Kanu Ogbonnaya Kingsley you can ask your ancestors now………But you arent Nigerian too now……Have you forgotten that your fore-fathers are from “FAKE” Israel?;which we traced and found out you ppl dnt have anytn in comon with…….
On point
Dey no dey die twice, no dead man wil ever die again, neither by gun nor black power. If u knw, u know .
Stephen U. Osazuwa stupid bigotary idiot…….Even if you are from Edo or whatever……….You lack the understanding of what politics is……..ode,oponu,olè……….omo jatijati,eranko oloju fó.
when an antelope robes shoulders with d lions in broad day. d night may be uncertain of its fate
You are devout Catholic

Angry and hungry Nigeria who has being suffering in this government u help to bring in may be at work, run for ur life
I’m greatfull to God for using Dr MOMOH to save me from hepatitis b virus. I’ve been carrying this virus for two years because to my best understanding there was no cure, until I met Dr Momoh. I used his herbal medicine as instructed by him, to God be the glory I went for the checkup and discovers the virus was gone. Contact him now via his whatsapp +2349058587788 or +2349068579672, he’s a God sent.
