Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, the founder of Adoration Ministries Enugu, Nigeria, has vowed not to be cowed into silence even as he was summoned to Abuja by the operatives of the Department of Security Services.
SaharaReporters stated that the operatives, Sunday, delivered the letter of invitation to Mbaka at his station located at Emene, though he was not around.
Reports has it that Fr Mbaka resumed officiating Mass yesterday after his one month suspension by the church. He was accused of delving into politics. He however said during the Mass that nobody would stop him from speaking against bad leadership.
SaharaReporters quoted Mbaka to have reacted to the DSS invitation. He said, “I got a call that the DSS people from Abuja came here (Enugu) with a letter of invitation to Abuja. Over what? What I cannot understand is that the mother church in Nigeria should be ‘cowed down’ to lilliputian.
“The church is a lion and lamb. The bible says if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do? Every priest is a prophet and a king. We must protect the sheep.
“In this time, when killings are every day story, when there is hunger everywhere, people do not have hope again. The only hope I have is God. Anybody who will stop people from worshipping here will regret it.
“I am the servant here. They don’t understand history. I spoke against Abacha. I went to Minna to tell Babangida what was wrong in his time. I spoke to Obasanjo face to face.
“I perform under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I ministered to the late President Yaradua. I am being used by a higher being called the Holy Spirit.
“If they are attacking me here and there, no wahala (no problem). The Bible says if God is for us, who can be against us? Only God can be God.
“I heard the security people did not accept the letter. They asked them to come on Monday to give me the letter. If they know the anointing here is too hot for them, let them change. I will not keep quiet.”
