The Department for State Services, DSS has reacted to the reports that the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry of Enugu, Nigeria, (AMEN), Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka is missing, saying that they are not holding him.
Many Christians have staged a protest in front of the Catholic Bishop’s court in Enugu, asking the Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Callistus Onaga to produce Fr Mbaka.
The whereabout of the cleric was alleged to have been unknown since he paid the Bishop a visit two days ago.
Reacting to the development, Peter Afunaya, spokesperson of the DSS, told Vanguard that the service did not arrest Fr Mbaka.
Afunaya said: “Rev Fr Mbaka is not with the DSS. The DSS did not pick him up, please.”
Recall that the Federal government had alleged that some religious and political leaders were planning to overthrow the Mohammadu Buhari-led government.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) had raised the alarm in a statement, saying the whereabouts of the priest were unknown.
The outspoken Catholic priest had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign or be impeached last week.
The Presidency had reacted by alleging that the cleric was angry because he sought to secure contracts from the Buhari-led government and was turned down.
