Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has advised every Biafrans, especially those from the Igbo nation, not to condemn Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, the controversial Catholic priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu State.
JournalReporters recalls that after calling for President Muhammadu Buhari’s impeachment or resignation due to his incompetence in leading the country, Mbaka became a cynosure on social media platforms.
Presidential spokesman Garba Shehu threatened to report him to the Pope for allegedly asking the president for contracts, to which he later responded that he had received a message from God to curse Buhari’s government.
Father Mbaka, however, was held incommunicado for 24 hours by the Catholic Bishop of Enugu, Callistus Onoga, but later released after Adoration Followers staged a heavy protest at the Cathedral.
While Mbaka has been the subject of discussion of recent, the IPOB helmsman admonished people in the Eastern region not to join in censuring the clergyman in an audio broadcast.
“Let me tell our people something they don’t understand. In a normal country so to speak, the condemnation of Father Mbaka you may welcome it somehow. I know sometimes regardless of our shortcomings, we are brutal in the way we think. Biafrans are very brutal, very very pure. We see what is bad and say is bad.

“It doesn’t matter who is doing it. That’s why a lot of people came down heavily on Father Mbaka but I’m telling you this, yes in Biafra, we can do anything we like to him. But, in Nigeria, as far as Nigeria is concerned, never ever condemn your own." Kanu said
