A Catholic church priest and the spiritual leader, Adoration Ministries Enugu, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, has announced a temporary shutdown of the ministry

The Adoration ministry will remain closed for a period of one month.

According to a notice issued to members on Tuesday, May 11, Mbaka is said to be embarking on a one month private prayer retreat.

“Our Spiritual Director, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka wishes to inform his beloved adorers that he has embarked on a private prayer retreat that will end on 10th June 2021.

The notice read:

“Consequently, no ministry activities shall be held in the ministry ground pending his return.

“He directs that members of the ministry are to observe this period of his retreat as they used to do during the usual January breaks of the ministry, by praying at their homes, being charitable and fasting according to their ability. Adoration! Holy Spirit is our Power.”

Recall that Mbaka was recently suspended by the Catholic church following his comments on President Buhari and Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

He has since apologized to the church.
