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.

This development highlights the growing concerns about unregulated products being sold in the name of religious and spiritual healing, and NAFDAC’s efforts to protect the public from potential harm.

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