There were media reports yesterday that Fr Mbaka had revealed amid his sermon on Wednesday March 25th that the EFCC had frozen his bank account and that he was welcome to their Port Harcourt office for addressing. He apparently said he went to the bank on Tuesday March 24th to cash some money to purchase foodstuff for the poor who had recently come back to Enugu from the North and the check he presented was rejected.
EFCC Spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren release an announcement late yesterday denying that the organization froze his account. See the statement bellow.
“The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC has been drawn to reports in a section of the media claiming that the Commission had frozen the accounts of Enugu-based Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Mass fame. The commission wishes to state that there is no truth in the report and should be discountenanced.” the statement read
