Father Mbaka’s Adoration Ground Not Set Ablaze By Angry Youths

This online news medium understands attack on the #EndSARS protesters in its wake, left “several” protesters dead and others injured according to videos published on Twitter by eyewitnesses.

Hours after the attack, hoodlums took to the streets on Wednesday, vandalizing several properties and burning media houses. On Thursday, hoodlums turned on the Ikoyi Prison in Lagos, otherwise referred to as Ikoyi correctional center.

On Thursday evening reports emerged that angry youths  burned down Father Mbaka’s Adoration Ministry in Enugu, southeast Nigeria.

However, a fact check, shows that Newsone Nigeria was misled by this video and we apologize.

Debunking the news that Adoration Ground was set ablaze by angry youths, according to the viral video suggesting that the Catholic Adoration Ground Enugu superintended by Father Mbaka was razed by protesting youths, the church said it’s not true.

Father Mbaka’s spokesman, Maximus Ugwoke who spoke with Vanguard after the news of the supposed fire outbreak at the Adoration ground, said the story and video making the rounds were false and should be disregard.

The spokesman of the controversial Catholic Priest said he suspected that the report of the fire incident emanated from an online media practitioner based in Enugu whom he said has written a rebuttal and asked people to ignore the mischief.

Speaking further, Ugwoke stressed promised to make an official statement on the issue after consultation with the priest.
