The Adoration Ministry Enugu has allegedly claimed that there was an assassination attempt on its Director, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, who was allegedly shot at, at Emene, near Enugu, the state capital.

The claim is contained in a statement signed by the President, National Adoration Family, Aka Emmanuel, President, Adoration Fathers’ Associations Worldwide, Okolo Godwin, Adoration Mothers’ Association Worldwide, Mrs. Ann Aligwe, President, Adoration Youths’ Association Worldwide, Chukwu Agoziem and Media Chief, Ike Ugwuoke.

“It is with shock that we received the report of the attempted assassination plot on the spiritual director of Adoration Ministry Enugu on Thursday evening by some gunmen who fired gunshots at him on his way along Emene road, Enugu,’’ the statement said.

Mbaka, in the recent time has come under a lot of criticism following a video making rounds on the internet where he allegedly queried the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi, for failing to announce a project he and his principal, Atiku Abubakar will undertake in his ministry or a financial donation to them.
