pastor fufeyin’s ‘miracle’ water, soap
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has cautioned Nigerians against patronising the “miracle” water, soap, perfumes and other products being advertised and sold by Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries.
The agency’s director general, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, in a statement on Sunday, said the products were not registered with NAFDAC.
Prof Adeyeye said NAFDAC has been inundated with petitions from concerned citizens about the pastor, Prophet Jeremiah Omotosho Fufeyin, and his ministry located in Effurun, Sapele Road, Delta State.
She said the petitions were about the pastor’s miracle water and soap being advertised with healing and miracle claims and sold to unsuspecting members of the public by the ministry.

“The minister showcased the use of miracle water and miracle soap on social media to heal barrenness. He claimed that the women would carry twins if they used the soap. He openly told his congregation that the soap is NAFDAC registered. Thus, the public began to visit the office to confirm the claims.”
She said NAFDAC has commenced an investigation into the activities of the pastor and his faith-based organisation over the use of its name to deceive unsuspecting members of the public.
She said “NAFDAC is a scientific organisation that is guided by verifiable scientific facts before registering any product.
“In the meantime, we will continue with our investigation into the activities of this faith organisation with regard to products within our mandates that have been reported to be manufactured and sold by them.
“I want to use this opportunity to warn faith organisations against illegal production of regulated products without requisite regulatory requirements.”
