During a recent church service streamed on YouTube (Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria), reverend Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN) passionately refuted allegations made against him by a woman identified as Ogechi Njaka.
The woman had taken to social media to accuse the Catholic priest of misconduct. The accusations include claims that he had dealings with native doctors and fathered children outside wedlock – allegations Fr. Mbaka called false, malicious, and damaging to his reputation and priestly vocation.
Speaking before his congregation and the altar of God, Fr. Mbaka denounced the accusations as part of a calculated attempt to bring his name to disrepute. He described the claims as baseless and challenged his accuser to come forward with verifiable proof if any exists. “Some people say if it’s not true, deny it. So here I am, standing before God’s altar to deny it,” he declared, his voice resolute.
Fr. Mbaka warned that slandering a servant of God is not a light offense and insisted that such actions would not go unanswered spiritually. He spoke of the gravity of accusing a priest of wrongdoing without evidence, stating that the consequences would manifest as divine retribution. “Let her come with evidence. If not, karma will hammer her life,” he said, invoking spiritual justice against what he sees as a grave injustice.
Rejecting any notion of a private apology, the priest demanded that any retraction must be as public as the accusations. He emphasized that a hidden apology would not suffice given the public damage done to his character. “She spoke in the open, so her apology must also be public. That girl’s name will turn to ‘Sorry’ if she doesn’t repent,” he warned.
Fr. Mbaka reaffirmed his dedication to his faith, his calling, and the values of integrity and spiritual truth. He called on his followers not to be swayed by falsehoods and to continue praying for divine justice. His fiery response has since drawn reactions from both supporters and critics online, sparking renewed debate over the challenges faced by high-profile religious leaders in the age of social media.
