Mbaka adoration ministry was never set on fire.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka Adoration Ministry in Enugu is safe and not on fire as widely reported by some Nigerian news media.
Recall that several reports emerged on Thursday afternoon that Father Mbaka’s adoration ground was on fire. The report came at a time hoodlums are burning properties across the nation.
However, a fact check, shows that NewsOnline Nigeria was misled by this video and we apologize.
Reacting to the news of the viral video suggesting that the Catholic Adoration Ground Enugu superintended by Father Mbaka was destroyed by protesting youths seeking an end to police brutality in Nigeria, the church authority debunked as not true
Maximus Ugwoke, the spokesman of Father Mbaka who spoke with Vanguard after the news of the supposed fire outbreak at the Adoration ground, said the story and video making the rounds were false and should be disregard.
Speaking further, Ugwoke noted that he suspected that the report of the fire incident emanated from an online media practitioner based in Enugu whom he said has written a rebuttal and asked people to ignore the mischief.
The spokesman of the controversial Catholic Priest promised to make an official statement on the issue after due consultation with the priest.
