Fiery Catholic priest Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has reportedly returned to Enugu.
The news of his return was being spread by the Adoration faithful who took to the street demonstrating against his alleged arrest.
Details of his arrest and release is yet not clear just as Mbaka is expected to make a public appearance at the Emene Adoration ground this afternoon.
The Department of State Services had earlier said that Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, is not in its custody.
Spokesperson for DSS, Peter Afunnaya, was quoted to have sent the DSS position to a media house in Lagos, Wednesday.
“He (Mbaka) is not with the DSS, please,” Afunnaya wrote in response to an inquiry by the media house.
Controversy trailed the whereabouts of the fiery cleric on Wednesday as protesters took over the major streets of Enugu over Mbaka’s alleged arrest by yet-to-be-identified security operative.
When officials of the Diocese of Enugu, to which Fr. Mbaka belongs, were contacted, some of them said he was not missing while others said they cannot confirm his whereabouts.
