Revealed: Checkout The Main Reasons The Catholic Church Finally Gave For Fr. Mbaka's Transfer

The Leadership of the Catholic Church in Nigeria has finally disclosed reasons behind the transfer of the renowned Catholic priest, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka from Enugu to Emene.

The Secretary-General of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Reverend Father Ralph Madu‎, said that Mbaka's transfer was to make him more useful in his service. 

He further disapproved claims by Mbaka that his transfer was a punishment and a calculated move to make him suffer. 

His words: 

"‎Mbaka’s transfer is not an exception; the Bishop has the right to post any priest wherever he feels his service would be more useful to the church.

His posting should have been a privilege, not a punishment which the Bishop can do because he has the power. If he says it’s a punishment, then it’s open for further investigation. Posting is a regular thing, a priest can be transferred after two, three, four, or more years. It depends on the discretion of the Bishop. That ministry (Adoration Ministry) is his private ministry. It does not belong to the church. Overseeing a parish is a full time job. Overseeing a ministry is a bigger task. If the church decides to take him somewhere where he’ll have more time to carry out his ministry, how is it punitive? That should not be the language.”he said

According to Ralph, Mbaka has done some things in the past against the Catholic Church but never received sanctions for any... 

“He is supposed to be a missionary. What if the Bishop had closed down the ministry , which is within his power to do? Sometimes, transfers can be for the good of the priest as something can be going wrong which he might not be aware of. The Bishop is free to move any priest at any time, it is his prerogative.” 

Father Mbaka has left with no option than to resume immediately at his new post "Our Lady Parish, Emene".  

He concluded.
