Stop attacking me for praying for Kanu, Mbaka cautions Catholic priests

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Nigeria, asked his fellow priests on Saturday to cease criticizing him for praying for and honouring the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, during his trials.

The preacher, who increased his prayers for the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu and other political agitators, described Kanu as his son.

The priest, in his 2022 New Year message during the Crossover night at the Adoration Ground, Emene, said, “I’m begging my fellow priests to stop condemning me for praying for Nnamdi Kanu. I am not closing any priest’s mouth and nobody should close my own. If I use my mouth to bless Nnamdi Kanu and you don’t like it, please use your own mouth to curse him. Leave me to bless him.

“I see Nnamdi Kanu as my son. Every Igbo man and woman is my child. You may not understand the spiritual authority I have on this land.

“If as a church, we can be praying for Nigeria in distress, nobody can stop us from praying for Nnamdi Kanu and our brothers in distress.

“This year will be for Kanu and those held for agitations. God will show them mercy this year.”
