Governor of Ebonyi state and chairman of southeast governors' forum, David
Umahi, has called on security agencies to investigate and unravel the
circumstances surrounding the alleged assassination attempt on the
controversial Catholic priest, Fr. Ejike Mbaka. Legit.ng regional reporter in
Enugu, Ikpechukwu Chinedu, reports that Umahi who made this known to
journalists through a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Emmanuel
Uzor, described the alleged attack on the priest as highest provocation of man
against God and called for full scale investigation to unravel those behind the
attempted assassination. Umahi also called on the Inspector General of Police
(IGP), Ibrahim Idris, to dispatch a crack team to investigate the alleged
attack. He said the attempted assassination of the Catholic priest shows how
low men have descended on their inordinate quest for power to silence the truth
and thanked God for saving the life of Fr. Mbaka. Governor Umahi further warned
politicians who are so desperate about 2019 general elections to play by the
rules while insisting that nobody’s political ambition is worth the blood of
any citizen, adding that they should know that it is dangerous to touch God’s
anointed or to do harm to His prophet. Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously
reported that some gunmen reportedly fired at the vehicle of Catholic priest,
Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka at the Enugu state capital. It was reported that
representatives of the Adoration Ministry in a statement claimed that the
religion leader escaped unhurt from the attack. They said this was not the
first time Mbaka has come under attack. “It is with rude shock and utter
surprise that we received the report of the attempted assassination plot of the
Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria last made Thursday
evening by some unknown gunmen who fired gun shots at him on his way along
Emene road Enugu.
