Father Mbaka berates DSS summons, says I cannot be ‘dumfounded’

There are signs that the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka may have been summoned to Abuja for interrogation by the Department of State Services (DSS) Operatives.

Our reporter learnt on Monday that operatives of DSS had paid a visit to the Adoration ground to deliver an invitation letter on Friday. But they were stated not to have met Father Mbaka at the church premises.

However, details of why DSS operatives summoned the priest were not disclosed, it might not be unrelated with Father Mbaka’s criticism of the Buhari regime recently.

Responding to the DSS invitation in his Sunday message, Mbaka stated, “I got a call on Thursday that the DSS people from Abuja came here (Enugu) with a letter of invitation to Abuja; over what? What I cannot understand is how the mother church in Nigeria could be cowed.

“The mother church is both a lamb and lion. The Bible says if the foundation is destroyed, what can the just man do?

“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 Yar’Adua; I am being used by a supernatural spirit called the Holy Spirit.

“If they are attacking me here and there, even from those that should save me, 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.”
