The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria, Fr Ejike Mbaka, has urged his followers to desist from attacking his Bishop, Rev Callistus Onaga.
Since Mbaka described the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, as stingy, many dramas had been unfolding.
His church was forced to be shut down as his congregation were warned not to go there for fellowship.
This led to a protest at the church’s premises by his followers who insisted on continuing their worship despite the order on the ground.
Reacting, Mbaka, in a statement made available to newsmen, dissociated himself from the protest and reminded them that the activities at the church remained suspended.
The statement read in part, “My attention has been drawn to activities that took place in the Adoration Ground on Sunday. I am not in any way involved in such activities.
