The agency claims the ministry is misleading the public by falsely using its name to promote unregistered products.

"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.
