Threat Messages after I Preached Against Jonathan's Re-election - Enugu Catholic Priest

Enugu Catholic priest and founder of the Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, yesterday raised an alarm that he has been receiving threat messages following his New Year eve message where he said that Nigeria would be doomed if President Goodluck Jonathan is re-elected. However, the priest says he is not afraid of death.

In a sermon at the Christ the King Catholic Parish GRA, Enugu, yesterday, Rev. Mbaka said if such threats could move him, he would not even be standing before the congregation that morning.

"Tell them I am not afraid of them. I have said what I was asked to say. The only word I have for them is Isaiah 54:15,17: 'Surely they shall gather, but because the gathering is not of God they shall scatter. No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper.',"" he said.

"They said Buhari gave me money, but I have never met with Buhari. I don't know him in person. I only delivered the message I was given and I stand by that message because the future of this country is bleak with Jonathan on the saddle."

Accordingto Mbaka, he had called Mrs. Patience Jonathan severally before he gave the December 31, 2014 message but couldn't get through to her.

"When she came here, I told her to give me her number so that I could give her messages, but thrice she refused. It was later she told one of the pastors with her to give me his number," he stated.

"So, before that message, I had called the number for two weeks but it was always the Personal Assistant to the pastor that picked the calls."

Mbaka re-affirmed yesterday that if Jonathan is re-elected, "the next four years will be hell for the country. People are crying of hanger but then you will see what is hunger."

MALI: Six Nigerien Soldiers Wounded in Mine Explosion

A vehicle transporting troops of the Nigerien contingent of the UN Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), on Sunday drove on a landmine in the northern region of Gao, leaving six soldiers injured in the explosion, three of them critically, a UN source has announced.The incident occurred on the road between Ansongo and Menaka, MINUSMA said, renewing its call to all stakeholders in the peace process already underway to be proactive in preventing attacks on UN peacekeepers.

According to corroborating details from various sources, Northern Mali, especially the Gao and Timbuktu regions have for the past ten days been mired in a wave of violence including kidnappings, attacks and fighting between armed factions.

These incidents take place a few days ahead of a crucial round of peace talks between the government in Bamako and the armed movements, which have moved to distinguish themselves from terrorist organizations and criminals.

This last phase of the negotiations to be held in January should in principle lead to the signing of a pre-agreement ahead of a final peace deal, the signing of which is slated to take place in the Malian capital Bamako.
