Breaking: Mbaka Shuts Down His Ministry!

It was gathered by De Erudite Communications media team that the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka on Tuesday (today) announced the shutdown of the Adoration Ministry for a period of 30 days.

According to a report by Vanguard news, He explained that the closure was to allow him embark on a Private prayer retreat that would end on 10th of June, 2021.

Mbaka who made this known in a statement, titled: “Notice to all adorers” also urged the Adoration faithful to observe the retreat with prayers, fasting and charity at home according to their capacity as they used to do during their normal annual January break, until he returns.

Recall that last week, Mbaka was directed by his Bishop, Rev Dr. Onaga, the bishop of Enugu Catholic diocese to withdraw from public ministration and go for one month personal retreat to seek for the face of God before continuing his ministry. However, It was not verified if the shutdown was in obedience to the earlier order given to him by Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Bishop Calistus Onaga.

The noticed says, “Our Spiritual Director, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka wishes to inform his beloved adorers that he has embarked on a private prayer retreat that will end on 10th June 2021.

“Consequently, no ministry activities shall be held in the ministry ground pending his return. He directs that members of the ministry are to observe this period of his retreat as they used to do during the usual January breaks of the ministry, by praying at their homes, being charitable and fasting according to their ability.

Adoration! Holy Spirit is our Power”.

It’s is believed that this public announcement is to avoid a repeat of what happened the last time the bishop called invited him to the cathedral and ordered him to embark on the retreat with immediate effect without prior announcement and planning and without allowing him to go back and inform his ministry adherents, which led to the protest of his followers as it was initially believed the bishop was conniving with Government authorities to arrest him secretly for his recent outspoken statements against the presidency.
