Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, have issued an alert about a possible disappearance of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
The vocal Enugu Priest who conveys the Adoration Ministry in Enugu, recently made headlines after asking President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over underperformance.
In response, the presidency alleged that the Cleric was threatening Buhari because he had been denied a contract.
However on Wednesday, the priest was reportedly missing after the council said he was last seen on Tuesday.
President-General of the OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, who lamented that every attempt to locate him had failed, added that “his aides haven’t seen or heard from him since Tuesday, according to our sources”.
“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,” the group warned.
A source who refused to be named disclosed that Mbaka was last seen yesterday, Tuesday, when he departed to honour an invitation by his Bishop.
“Today is the Wednesday programme, ‘E no dey again’, if he don’t officiate, it will then be clear that something is wrong,” one of them said.
The development has however spurned youths of the church to gather at the Adoration ground. A message inviting the youths to the Adoration ground read, “Important! Good morning friends and well-wishers. Please if you know you stand for justice and you do not want the lone voice that speaks for the poor in this country to be silenced, gather at Adoration ground let’s go for a protest at the Bishops court.
“Fr. Mbaka is nowhere to be found. He went yesterday to answer the Bishop’s call and up till now, he’s not taking his calls. Let’s gather! SSG”.
