The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has launched an investigation into the sale of miracle water and soap being promoted by Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministries, led by Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin.

According to a statement issued on Sunday, NAFDAC accused the church of misusing its name to deceive the public and create false impressions about the products being offered.

NAFDAC’s Director General, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, clarified that none of the products being marketed by the church are registered with the agency.

The agency expressed concern over the misleading claims made by the church regarding the supposed healing properties of these items.

In the official statement, NAFDAC explained, “We are issuing this alert to inform the public about the activities of Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministries, a faith-based organization using NAFDAC’s name to mislead people.”

The agency revealed it had been inundated with petitions from concerned citizens about the activities of Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin and his ministry, located at Km 5 Effurun, Sapele Road, Delta State.

The petitions center around the promotion of “Miracle Water” and “Miracle Soap,” which the ministry claims have healing properties, including the ability to cure barrenness.

Fufeyin has been widely advertising these products on social media, making bold claims that using the soap would lead to women carrying twins.

Moreover, the prophet has assured his followers that the products are NAFDAC-approved, further convincing the public of their authenticity.

Following these claims, people began visiting NAFDAC offices seeking confirmation of the products’ legitimacy.

In response, NAFDAC launched an investigation, with several concerned individuals submitting samples of the products for verification.

These items, which include “Miracle & Healing Water,” “River Jordan Water,” “The Miracle Water from The Pool of Bethsaida,” “A New Beginning Mount Carmel Miracle Water,” “Water of Life,” and various other formulations, are being scrutinized by the agency to evaluate the accuracy of the claims.

NAFDAC reiterated that none of these products had undergone any registration process with the agency, and urged the public to be cautious when purchasing items from unverified sources, especially when extraordinary claims are made about their benefits.

The agency’s investigation aims to determine whether the products pose any health risks and to hold the ministry accountable for any deceptive practices.

NAFDAC also warned faith-based organizations against exploiting the public’s trust through unsubstantiated health claims.

The agency’s ongoing investigation will determine the next steps in addressing the issue and safeguarding consumer safety.

The two leaders expressed their respect for the democratic process and emphasized the importance of accepting the peaceful transfer of power, even when the results are not what one hoped for.

Biden reiterated that democracy is about more than winning elections; it’s about respecting the will of the people and maintaining the core values that have long been the foundation of the United States.

Biden also took a moment to express his pride in Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, both of whom ran on the Democratic ticket.

He lauded them as “extraordinary public servants” who conducted a “remarkable campaign.”

Harris, who made history as the first woman and first woman of color to serve as vice president, continues to be a powerful figure in American politics.

Walz, a former teacher and veteran, has led Minnesota with a focus on education and healthcare reform.

The statement defined the challenges that the country has faced in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic strains that followed.

Biden pointed out the rising prices, many of which were a result of the pandemic, and the frustration felt by many Americans who have worked hard but continue to struggle with basic living costs.

These hardships, he noted, have created significant headwinds for Democratic leaders, not just in the United States but globally.

He called for a focus on unity, emphasizing that while Americans may not always agree on everything, the path forward requires good faith and understanding, even in the face of deep disagreement.

In closing, Biden reflected on the journey of progress, reminding Americans that building a fairer, more just society is an ongoing effort.

Despite the setback of the election, they reiterated their commitment to working for a more equal, free, and prosperous country.
