In a statement signed by signed by Chief Aka
Emmanuel, President, National Adoration Family, Chief Okolo Godwin,
President, Adoration Fathers’ Associations World Wide, Mrs Ann
Aligwe,President, Adoration Mothers’ Association World Wide, Chukwu
Agoziem, President, Adoration Youths’ Association World Wide and Barr
Ike Maximus Ugwuoke- Media Chief, they said Fr. Mbaka was shot in Enugu,
the State capital.

The statement reads:

“It is with rude
shock and utter surprise that we received the report of the attempted
assassination plot of the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu
Nigeria last made Thursday evening by some unknown gunmen who fired gun
shots at him on his way in Enugu.

“This incident has added to
several other assassination plots targeted at Fr Mbaka since after the
first plot that was carried out on him on his way from the Bishop’s
house where he had gone to answer an impromptu call by his Bishop during
the regime of Governor Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu State .

“This
assassination plot against Fr Mbaka is coming barely few days after the
2018 Harvest and Bazaar of the Ministry where Fr Mbaka had come under
massive media attack for asking Peter Obi, the PDP Vice Presidential
Candidate for the 2019 General election who attended the Bazaar
programme, to make public his support or donation for the Church Project
of the Ministry.

“Many Supporters of Peter Obi and even clergies
have misconstrued this as embarrassing to Peter Obi and to the Catholic
Church and this has consequently given rise to the statement issued by
the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) that same Thursday on
the issue. The issue had lingered in spite of the apology, which Fr
Mbaka in his characteristic humility had tendered at the altar to Peter
Obi and anyone who may have been in any way form and kind been offended
at the Bazaar event.

“We have refrained from making any official
statement on the ongoing media attack against Fr Mbaka over the Baazar
incident because he had held us from joining issues with the Church
Clergies and hierarchies on the subject, but we cannot continue to keep
silent especially now that the issue is taking the dimension of plot to
exterminate his life.

“We recall that the last time Fr Mbaka
raised alarm over threat to exterminate him was in early 2015 when he
faced a similar persecution by some church hierarchy and the PDP
Government following his 31st December Prophecy of the imminent defeat
of former President Goodluck Jonathan led PDP Government by President
Mohammadu Buhari at the 2015 General Election.

“Today, with the
2019 general election around the corner, it appears that history is
repeating itself. The contemporaneousness of the recent attack of Fr
Mbaka by gunmen with the Peter Obi and the CBCN saga leaves us to a safe
conclusion that the attack on Fr Mbaka may have either been politically
engineered or ecumenically endorsed, and thus we will not hesitate to
call on the security agencies in this country to beam their searchlights
and leave no stone unturned in getting to the root of this issue.

“Fr
Mbaka’s life means so much to us and many poor and voiceless Nigerians
for whom he lives and so we cannot be silent on the face of any threat
to his life real or perceived. The graphic narration of the sinister
assassination plot as recounted by Fr Mbaka himself during the last
Friday’s all night Adoration vigil should not be taken lightly and we
charge the security agencies in this country to arise to the situation.

“We
continue to thank God for His continuous miraculous protection of Fr
Mbaka and for His Special Supernatural Security (SSS) of Fr Mbaka and
the Adoration Ministry. We are by this medium sending a strong warning
to wherever the assassination plot against Fr Mbaka is coming from, be
it the politicians or their supporters or the Church that we shall not
fold our hands and keep watching. We shall not only expose the source of
this threat to the life of Fr Mbaka at the fullness of our
investigations but we shall also match same with equal force in self
defence.

“While we have the faith that God will fight our cause,
we believe even more in the defence of our faith through our good works
and actions.”
