Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, the Catholic Bishop of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), has revealed his location as at the time he was allegedly missing for a period of hours.

On May 5, 2021, there was an allegation that Father Mbaka had gone missing leading to a protest on the streets of Enugu.

According to Father Mabaka, the Bishop of Enugu dioceses, Callistus Valentine Onaga, summoned him for a meeting and threatened to close his ministry and keep him for 30 days but he later allowed him to go and address the protesters who had thronged the streets.

He noted that should he had not been within Enugu to address the crowd, things would have escalated.

Father Mbaka was thankful that the protest was peaceful and he showed up in time to calm the protesters.

Recently, the cleric has been in the news after asking President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.

The presidency who didn't take kindly to his words accused him of attacking the president because his request for a contract was denied.

Although Father Mbaka admitted to discussing contract with President Buhari but said he did so for the wellbeing of the country
