Catholic priests in the Enugu Diocese are reportedly going to meet up with controversial clergyman Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka to investigate possible life threat. President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife allegedly plan to assassinate him.
Several days ago, Reverend Mbaka said that after the President attempted to bribe him using the deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, and he rejected the money, his life is in danger.
The priest, who leads the Adoration Ministry, had made these allegations during a sermon he delivered in his church last Sunday.
On Saturday, March 21, in a statement released by his spokesperson, Ike Maximus Ugwuoke, the priest said that “strange hoodlums in a black Hilux besieged his parish compound but they left disappointed when they could not see him”.
However, the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria said Reverend Mbaka is yet to report the allegations to it, hence why several bishops have decided to make the visit.
One representative of the Enugu diocese said investigations are ongoing to determine the legitimacy of Reverend Mbaka’s threat. He added that they will decide on their next course of action after today’s meeting.
