Igbo youths, under the auspices of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, have celebrated the return of Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, to his Adoration Ministry in Enugu.
Mbaka, who was sent to the monastery for several months, has resumed at the ministry.
The youth said it was heartwarming to see Mbaka return at the time the nation needed his spiritual guidance and prayers.
Speaking through the National President of the organisation, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the youth said Mbaka’s voice was missed during the killings at Eha-Amufu in Isi-Uzo Local Government of Enugu State and other parts of the country.
Nnabuike said: “It was a period we will never forget, with several indigenes gruesomely murdered by herdsmen.
“The absence of Mbaka was evident; his loud voice on issues of that nature was greatly missed during that period of carnage. We know he would have given humanitarian assistance to the displaced people of Eha-Amufu just like he did during the Nimbo massacre.
“This is why we are happy that he is back; we welcome him and urge him to continue his role as the voice of millions of oppressed Nigerians. He should continue his charity, which is benefiting millions of people.
“No level of intimidation should make him lose his voice in his role as an advocate of the masses.”
