The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a stern warning to the Nigerian public regarding the activities of Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries, a religious organization led by the popular Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin. 

The agency claims the ministry is misleading the public by falsely using its name to promote unregistered products. NAFDAC investigates 'miracle water' advertised as registered

In a statement released on Sunday, NAFDAC's Director General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, emphasized that none of the products sold or advertised by the ministry have been approved by the regulatory body. The agency is urging Nigerians to remain cautious and not fall victim to the deception. 

"NAFDAC wishes to alert the public about the activities of a faith-based organization, Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries, which has been using the NAFDAC name to deceive unsuspecting individuals," the agency said. 

The statement continues: “NAFDAC has received numerous petitions from concerned citizens regarding Senior Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin of Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries, located at Km 5 Effurun, Sapele Road, Delta State. The ministry has been promoting Miracle Water and Miracle Soap with claims of healing and miracles, and selling them to unsuspecting members of the public. The Minister showcased the use of Miracle Water and Miracle Soap on social media to claim healing for barrenness, stating that women would conceive twins if they used the soap. He openly told his congregation that the soap is NAFDAC registered, leading the public to visit the office to confirm these claims.”  

The petitioners also submitted the following products from the Spiritual Ministry to NAFDAC to verify the bogus claims. The products are Miracle & Healing Water, River Jordan Water, the Miracle Water from The Pool of Bethsaida, A New Beginning Mount Camel Miracle Water, Water of Life, Miracle Water from The Pool of Bethsaida (1L), A New Beginning Pool of Bethsaida Water, and Father Smelled Perfume. The State Coordinator covertly bought the Miracle Water (25cl) for 3000 naira from the Ministries and took the pictures. “

“In continuation of our investigation, NAFDAC Investigation and Enforcement has sealed the Globod Table Water factory to aid and abet the production, sale, and advertisement of unregistered and unwholesome Miracle Water under the pretext of Fake NAFDAC Registration Number. “NAFDAC wishes to inform the public that none of these products being advertised and sold are registered with NAFDAC. The public is also being advised to stop patronizing any of these Miracle products. 

NAFDAC is scientific organization that is guided by verifiable scientific facts before registering any product. Officials from NAFDAC are urging the public to seek only approved medications and products and to report any organization involved in such fraudulent activities to the authorities. Neither Prophet Fufeyin nor Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries has publicly responded to the allegations as of the time of this report. This development highlights the ongoing challenge faced by regulatory bodies in Nigeria as they work to protect public health amid a proliferation of unverified products being sold in the name of faith.
