Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) has on Wednesday raised the alarm over the alleged disappearance of popular Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka in Enugu state.
There has been a running battle between the presidency and the cleric of Adoration Ministry, Enugu state, who was a staunch supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari before he took a U-turn and asked Buhari to resign over the rising level of insecurity in the country.
Following this, the Presidency countered Father Mbaka by revealed that the cleric is beginning to attack Buhari because he was refused a contract.
The clergyman the admitted that indeed he led three contractors to see the Presidency but stated that it was towards to process of ensuring security of lives and properties in Nigeria.
Ohanaeze Youth Council, in latest development, has now claimed that the priest was missing, DailyPost reports.
In a statement issued by President-General of OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, he said Mbaka was last seen on Tuesday, adding that every effort to trace him had failed.
He expressed;
We have it on good authority that his aides have neither seen nor heard from him since Tuesday. Calls put to his mobile line have also remained unanswered; this has now prompted us to issue this alarm as we would not take it lightly should anything untoward happens to him.
We are giving the Federal Government 48 hours to produce the priest, else they should be ready to face Igbo youths. They were dining and wining with him all along and now that he told the truth, they are no longer comfortable with him. Let nothing happen to Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka. It will not be in anybody’s interest.

One of them said;
Today is the Wednesday programme, ‘E no dey again’, if he doesn’t officiate, it will then be clear that something is wrong.
