The protesters, who were drawn from Fufeyin’s Church and other Christian faiths besieged the NAFDAC office with different inscriptions on placards despite the heavy rain to register their grievance over the attack on him.
Some of the placards read, “Spiritual products have spiritual backing, don’t need NAFDAC approval, When it comes to spiritual, respect it among others.
Speaking on behalf of the protesters, the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Charismatic Anglican Church of Nigeria, Samuel Baaba cautioned NAFDAC on spiritual matters.
Baaba said:
“We are men of God and we are here in solidarity to send a message to NAFDAC to refrain from its step over spiritual matters.
“NAFDAC does not have the right to regulate spiritual products. There is a limit to what people can do especially when it comes to matters of faith”
Also speaking, Rector Union Theological Institute and Seminary, Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital, Evangelical Church, Calixtus and Most Celestine Ewurum added that they were only interested in the issue that concerned items that are spiritual.
“To the best of my knowledge and which I have read through the NAFDAC Act, 2004, if there is an amendment, I don’t know, where it could regulate the spiritual product.
“NAFDAC don’t have right to declare the products fake when it never tested the product, NAFDAC should out clearly what is wrong with the water,” they added.
The Guardian and The New Telegraph confirmed the report in their publication on Tuesday.
