The Department for State Security (DSS) has said the ‘missing’ Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka is not in their custody.
The spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunaya, however, told Vanguard that the service was not in possession of Fr. Mbaka.
Afunaya said: “Rev Fr Mbaka is not with the DSS. The DSS did not pick him up, please.”
The Federal government had alleged that some religious and political leaders were planning to overthrow the Mohammadu Buhari-led government.
Controversy trailed the whereabouts of the fiery cleric on Wednesday with a reported protest in Enugu State 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.
