Father Ejike Mbaka has broken the silence on his disappearance for 24 hours, accusing the Enugu Catholic Bishop, Reverend Callistus Onaga, of planning his incarceration.<\/p>\n

Mbaka said he was detained by the Bishop over his support for Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). He said he was released because of the protest that happened at his ministry on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to City Voice, Mbaka spoke to journalists on Wednesday evening, saying the Enugu Catholic Diocese planned to detain him for 30days, he added that a lot of issues were presented before him and they agreed to detain him for 30 days. He will have to pray and meditate over the issues during the period.<\/p>\n

He told them to allow him to go and address his ministry before the incarceration, but they disagreed. They pushed him out after seeing the large crowd that turned up for the protest.<\/p>\n

He said his major sin was that he prayed for Nnamdi Kanu and his recent comments against President Muhammad Buhari.<\/p>\n

The Leadership of the Catholic Church have also finally suspended Father Mbaka over his recent anti-Buhari\u2019s comment and expressed support for Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n

Mbaka said:<\/p>

Mbaka said the church was strong against him for blessing Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you the owner of my mouth? You can\u2019t tell me who to bless? If you are not happy that I blessed someone, you have your own mouth, you can curse the person.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t treat me in a pastoral way and I was asking am I being punished for what?<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said it was a meeting, but even before I reached the Bishop\u2019s house, conclusion has already been made. What happened to me was like the day I was shot on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately for them, even before the meeting, a woman was already going around bragging that the Bishop will call me for a meeting, and that I was going to leave my house here for 30 days, and that after the 30 days, I would be sent to Rome, and Adoration ministry will be closed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a time and cases like this, don\u2019t give me a punishment that will cause troubles for us because I\u2019m not alone,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
