NAFDAC confirms investigation into Pastor Jeremiah’s miracle water, soap
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has declared that the ‘miracle water, soap,’ and other products sold by Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin are not registered.
This came after social media critic, Verydarkman including the public, drew NAFDAC‘s attention to Fufeyin’s booming miracle business.
In a recent statement released by NAFDAC’s Resident Media Consultant, Olusayo Akintola, based in Abuja, it affirmed that the products were unregistered.
Akintola highlighted that Prophet Fufeyin, associated with Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries located at KM 5, Effurun, Sapele Road, Delta State, has been misleading the public by claiming these products have NAFDAC approval when they do not.
“The suspect showcased the use of the miracle water and miracle soap on social media.
“He claimed that they had the capacity to heal barrenness and that women who used both products would be pregnant with twins.
“He openly told his congregation that the soap is NAFDAC registered, which attracted the public to begin to make efforts to verify the claim,” he said.
According to Olusayo Akintola, individuals who filed the petitions also sent samples of the products from Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries to NAFDAC for examination.
The products in question included:
– Miracle and healing water
– River Jordan water
– Miracle water from the pool of Bethsaida
– New beginning Mount Camel miracle water
– Water of life miracle water from the pool of Bethsaida
– Father smelled perfume
Upon receiving these complaints, NAFDAC, under the direction of its Post-Marketing Surveillance (PMS) Director, reached out to the Delta State Coordinator to confirm the church’s operations.
“The state coordinator was also directed to take necessary regulatory action on the production facility in the church where the miracle water and other products were produced.
“He covertly bought the miracle water (25cl) for 3000 naira from the church and took pictures of other products,” he said.
Akintola continued, “On August 27, a team of investigators and enforcement team of NAFDAC, along with a federal task force on counterfeit and unwholesome foods, visited the church to commence an investigation.
“Officials of the church did not cooperate with the team, which prompted the issuing of a letter of invitation for them to report at the NAFDAC office in Asaba for further investigation, but it was not honoured.
“Instead of honouring the invitation, they submitted a legal document at NAFDAC headquarters in Abuja on August 28.”
Akintola added that a document made available to NAFDAC on Sept. 3 claimed that the church entered a production agreement with one Globod Table Water without the knowledge of NAFDAC.
“NAFDAC wishes to inform the public that none of these products being advertised and sold are registered with NAFDAC.
”The public is also advised to stop patronising any of these products. NAFDAC is a scientific organisation that is guided by verifiable facts before registering any product.
“In the meantime, we will continue with our investigation into the activities of this faith organisation,” he concluded.
