The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) has raised the alarm over the whereabouts of the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministries in Enugu State, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
OYC raised the alarm that Mbaka is allegedly missing on Wednesday.
The clergy has been in the news after he asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign or be impeached for failing to protect the lives of Nigerians.
The presidency had reacted to Mbaka’s comments, saying the catholic priest was attacking Buhari because he was refused a contract.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by the President-General of Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, Mbaka was last seen on Tuesday, and every effort to reach him had failed.
The group said, “We have it on good authority that his aides have neither seen nor heard from him since Tuesday.
“Calls put to his mobile line have also remained unanswered; this has now prompted us to issue this alarm as we would not take it lightly should anything untoward happen to him.
“We are giving the Federal Government 48 hours to produce the priest, else they should be ready to face Igbo youths. They were dining and wining with him all along and now that he told the truth, they are no longer comfortable with him.
“Let nothing happen to Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka. It will not be in anybody’s interest.”
Meanwhile, Daily Post reports that it reached out to close aides of the Catholic Cleric but they declined comment, noting that the situation was still unclear.
One of the aides said, “Today is the Wednesday programme, ‘E no dey again’, if he don’t officiate, it will then be clear that something is wrong.”
It was also gathered that Mbaka was last seen yesterday (Tuesday) when he departed to honor an invitation by his Bishop.
Reports say following the apprehension, all the youths of the ministry have been summoned to the Adoration ground for a planned protest.
