The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it is investing Pastor Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin of Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries’ ‘miracle water and soap’, while urging the public to stop patronising miracle products while alerting on the activities of the faith-based organisation in Delta State.
Director-general of NAFDAC, Moji Adeyeye, who advised in a statement on Sunday, Sept. 8, said the church sells a variety of “miracle waters” and soaps, which it claims can heal and perform miracles, such as curing barrenness.
Adeyeye revealed that NAFDAC had received numerous petitions from concerned citizens regarding the activities of a senior prophet of the church, Jeremiah Omoto.
She said the petitions raised concerns about selling and advertising various unverified miracle products, including “Miracle & Healing Water” and “The Miracle Water from The Pool of Bethsaida.” The products were allegedly marketed with promises of miraculous healing powers, including the ability to help women conceive twins.
The ministry had reportedly claimed that the products were registered with NAFDAC, prompting several individuals to visit the agency’s offices to verify the claims. Adeyeye said that upon investigation, NAFDAC confirmed that none of the products were registered.
Speaking further, the DG said that in August 2024, the Delta State coordinator of NAFDAC, acting on petitions, visited Christ MercyLand Ministries and purchased one of the miracle waters for N3,000.
However, she said when confronted, ministry officials denied involvement in producing or selling the products, despite a purchase receipt, adding that they also refused to cooperate with further investigations, delaying responses and avoiding meetings with NAFDAC officials.
