The MarysRose Evangelistic Association, Aba and Indigenous Confederates of Nigeria for Authentic Nationhood (ICNAN), has appealed to Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, to intervene and ensure the reopening of the Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN) founded by Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka.
It could be recalled that the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev Callistus Onaga, shut down the Adoration Ministry prayer ground in Enugu till next year.
Consequently, all religious activities in the premises ceased operation until further notice.
Reacting to the prolonged ban, ICNAN founder, Rev. Fr. Kenneth Evurulobi, wrote a letter to Governor Ugwuanyi asking for his intervention for reopening of the ministry.
In a entitled “Subsisting Canonical Appeal For/On Behalf Of Very Rev. Fr. Camilius Ejike Mbaka And Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN); Respectively: nullity of letter/document purported to have emanated from Most Rev. Callistus Onaga, Catholic Bishop of Enugu,” Rev. Fr. Evurulobi urged him to assist the Adoration Ministry and ensure that the “Notification Of Appeal To Pope Francis” gets attention.
The Catholic priest, who faulted the closure of worship of God and other religious activities in the ministry, maintained that there was no justification for.
According to him, “the only real relationship or connection that could be said to exist between the person and ministry of Very Fr. Mbaka and the purported document can only be the type that exists between the Mother Church and a Deep Church; between the authentic Nigerian state and a Deep state; between Caesar and Brutus; between light and darkness; and between Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot, together with all the sharp contrasts, irreconcilable differences and violent oppositions that lie in between.”
Fr Kenneth noted that the subsisting Appeal To Pope Francis for/on behalf of Very Rev. Fr. Camilius Ejike Mbaka and the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN) has, ipso facto, suspended the pastoral injunction with Ref: “CDE-DSS/AMEN/22 document and rendered it ineffectual.
He added that “any further insistence on the legitimacy and validity of this document and its force in respect of Fr. Mbaka and the Adoration Ministry can only be a pointer to the real faces and hands that have worked in total disguise to kill Fr. Mbaka.”
He explained that the significance of this recourse to the person/office of His Excellency, Ugwuanyi, “is that it is a strong and passionate Appeal praying you in the most humblest and respectful terms – to use your good offices to help the Adoration Family reach out to those concerned, especially, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu, Most Rev. (Dr) Callistus Onaga and the hierarchy of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu to rescind the decision to close down Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN) and to ensure the safety and security of Very Rev. Fr. Camillus Ejike Mbaka.”
