"It is with a deep sense of concern that we are constrained to make this statement on the continued threat to the life of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka over his 2015 New Year message titled “From Good Luck to Bad Luck. The Enugu State Police Command has refuted claims by Fr. Mbaka that his life is in danger. It dismissed Fr. Mbaka’s outcry over threat to his life as baseless.The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ebere Amarizu , DSP, was quoted as saying, “We do not have any report by Fr. Mbaka over threat to his life. We have not received any complaint from him”.

Absence of a formal report on threat to one’s life doesn’t
negate the reality of such threat more so when the victim had made a public
outcry on this issue.
To argue otherwise is akin to denying the fact of death in
the face of a man’s corpse merely because there is no certificate certifying
his death…
