Mbaka: HURIWA threatens to report Priest to Pope

The group also dismissed Mbaka’s prophecy about an alleged plot to assassinate President Buhari, calling it a rumour.

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has asked the Catholic Bishops Conference (CBCN) to call Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka to order, or they will report him to Pope Francis.

The group also dismissed Mbaka’s prophecy about an alleged plot to assassinate President Buhari, calling it a rumour.

Vanguard Newspapers reports that the group in a statement signed by the National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and the National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf, said “Mbaka should cover his face in shame for displaying gross ignorance of the workings of the democratic and law based tenets and provisions of the constitution which deems suspects brought before the court of competent jurisdiction as totally innocent in the eye of the law until contrary determination is made by the Court in line with due process of the law.”

The group also said “Is Fr Mbaka a judge who has passed presiding over cases of alleged graft involving any immediate past political office holder and adjudged them guilty of corrupt practices? Is Fr Mbaka unaware that as the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces that President Muhammadu Buhari is the most protected citizen in Nigeria now with hundreds of well armed and highly trained professional guards drawn from the Nigerian Military and the Secret Police headed by President Muhammadu Buhari’s kinsman?"

“Is Fr Mbaka unaware that Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari is waging a counter-terror war and that the armed Islamists have vowed in several media recordings to kill not just the Commander in chief but officials of government? This Mbaka’s whitewash must be consigned to the dustbins without further delay,” they added.

Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, recently raised an alarm, saying that there was a plot by unnamed persons to assassinate President Muhammadu Buhari.
