The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has launched an investigation into the “miracle water” and “miracle soap” being sold by Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministries, led by Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin. The agency accused the church of using its name to mislead and deceive the public.
In a statement signed by its Director General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, NAFDAC declared, “None of the products being advertised and sold by the church are registered with the agency.” The statement further reads: “NAFDAC wishes to alert the public on the activities of a faith-based organization – Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministries – that uses NAFDAC’s name to deceive the unsuspecting public.”
The agency revealed that it has received numerous petitions from concerned citizens regarding the activities of Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, who has been promoting a “Miracle Water” and “Miracle Soap” with claims of healing powers. The statement continued: “The Minister showcased the use of Miracle Water and Miracle Soap on social media to heal barrenness. He claimed that the women would carry twins if they used the soap. He openly told his congregation that the soap is NAFDAC registered. Thus, the public began to visit the office to confirm the claims.”
NAFDAC also disclosed that petitioners had submitted a range of products from the ministry for verification of the claims, including “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 agency reiterated its commitment to protecting the health of Nigerians and stated that it would continue to investigate and take necessary actions to prevent further deception of the public.
