There was Jubilation in Enugu State on Wednesday after Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, resurfaced after his whereabouts had caused confusion in the state.
Controversy had trailed the whereabouts of the fiery cleric early on Wednesday, with a reported protest over his alleged arrest by yet-to-be-identified security operatives.
When officials of the Diocese of Enugu, to which Fr. Mbaka belongs, were contacted, some of them said he was not missing, while others said they cannot confirm his whereabouts
When Mbaka returned in a vehicle a few minutes past 2 pm, his supporters were seen shouting “Father Mbaka, Oh! You are home!”
The reverend father later came out of the vehicle to rejoice with his supporters.
This was even as the Department of State Services, DSS, stated that the cleric was not in its custody.
Spokesperson for DSS, Peter Afunnaya, said,
“He (Mbaka) is not with the DSS, please,” Afunnaya wrote in response to the rumours.
