The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, has returned to his Enugu base after three months of his solitary confinement to a monastery.
Fr Mbaka was ordered to proceed to a monastery for three months following statements he was alleged to have made in connection with the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, which his Bishop, Dr Calistus Onaga said was not with the teachings of the church.
