Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Nigeria headed by Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Camillus Ejike Mbaka has called on security agents to see as prime suspects those criticising the prophecy of its spiritual director on a plot to assassinate President Muhammadu Buhari.
The ministry’s Media Chief, Mr Ike Maximus Ugwuoke, who said this yesterday in a statement issued in Enugu, urged Nigerians to ask those he described as “democratic miscreants” why they are not perturbed by the other prophecies Fr Mbaka made this year except the plot to kill Mr President.
“Are they guilty or privy to the plot which the man of God had exposed? The laborious manner with which they attacked the prophetic message in an attempt to filibuster and water it down betrays their innocence on this issue and this should make them prime suspects in the list of the nation’s intelligence security surveillance,” the ministry said.
The Adoration Ministry responded to a statement credited to a human rights group which threatened to drag Fr Mbaka to the Pope, if the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria failed to reprimand him and stop him from actively associating with politicians based on his New Year prophecy of a plan to assassinate Buhari.
The rights group dismissed Fr. Mbaka’s prophecy as “delusional fantasy.”
But the Adoration Ministry said the Constitution in “Section 38(1) respects universal right to freedom of religion and to manifest and propagate same either or in community with others in public or private just as it guarantees freedom of expression in Section 39.
“If the Constitution which gave every citizen of this country the right to worship did not prohibit him from declaring the message he receives from the God he worships, we then wonder why a priest of God and a citizen of this country should be threatened for exercising his constitutional right.
“A situation where the fundamental human rights which is the tenet of the ideals of democracy is bastardised by an acclaimed human rights group that is meant to protect same is indeed worrisome and makes mockery of the nomenclature.”
