Charismatic preacher and leader of Enugu-based Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has finally exonerated former Imo State governor, Ikedi Ohakim of the allegation that he flogged Rev. Father Eustace Okorie in 2010 for blocking his convoy.
It was widely reported that the cleric was then taken to Ohakim, who ordered him detained, stripped naked and beaten for defaulting traffic law.
The incident eventually led to the ousting of Ohakim from Imo State government House in 2011.
In fact, a song was composed against Ohakim, which was sang at Mbaka’s crusades and at church gatherings, asking people to vote out Ohakim for beating a reverend father.
However, Fr. Mbaka at a recent gathering, explained that Okorie had confessed to him that nothing of such ever happened.
Mbaka said: “Some things, which when done publicly but happen to be lies, should also be publicly recanted.
“When Ohakim was accused of beating up a priest, the whole Roman Catholic Church was outraged and that was his doom.”
He said Ohakim swore before the “blessed sacrament” that it was a false allegation, but by then, it was too late to undo the political damage done.
“I don’t need one kobo from Ohakim to say the truth. My God is the King of kings. And our prophetic message is ‘unbribeable’”, he said.
