Rev. Fr. Mbaka was summoned to a meeting on Sunday by the leadership of the Catholic Church in Nigeria to investigate his allegations that president Goodluck Jonathan-the President of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria and His wife-Dame patience are planning to kill him.
A close source who spoke under anonymity said the meeting will be help in an undisclosed location, after mass on Sunday.
You will recall that a video was posted on youtube, supposedly by Rev. Mbaka, where he said: “Let me say to the whole world that President Jonathan and his wife, Patience, are planning to assassinate Father Mbaka. It is a known secret, so whoever they want to use, I don’t know. They may not come themselves. They may use these unemployed people, the same people I am speaking for. I don’t know why people no longer have the fear of God. Do they think that killing Father Mbaka will make Jonathan and his wife win the election? Is Mbaka their problem?
The outspoken and controversial priest says he is not afraid to die in the defence of the truth. Our source said the matter has not been taken to the Vatican, but he also added that a report will be sent, if the issue has been finalised.
