The agency warns that the ministry is using NAFDAC’s name to mislead the public about unregistered miracle products.

In a statement issued on Sunday, NAFDAC’s Director General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, clarified that none of the miracle products promoted by the ministry are approved by the agency.

“NAFDAC wishes to alert the public on the activities of a faith-based organization – Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries – that uses NAFDAC name to deceive the unsuspecting public,” the statement partly read.

NAFDAC said it received numerous complaints from concerned citizens regarding the ministry’s promotion of “Miracle Water” and “Miracle Soap” through social media, claiming these items could heal ailments and perform miracles, such as curing infertility.

Prophet Fufeyin allegedly told his congregation that the soap was registered with NAFDAC, prompting many people to inquire with the agency for confirmation.

The complaints also highlighted a list of additional products allegedly sold by the ministry, including “River Jordan Water,” “A New Beginning Mount Camel Miracle Water,” and various other “miracle” waters and perfumes.

Upon receiving these complaints, NAFDAC tasked its Delta State office with investigating. Officials were directed to visit the ministry’s premises to verify the production of the miracle products and assess the validity of the claims.

“The Coordinator was also directed to visit the Ministry to establish the veracity of the claims in the petitions and take necessary regulatory action on the production facility in the Ministry where the Miracle water and other products are produced. The State Coordinator covertly bought the Miracle Water (25cl) for 3000 naira from the Ministries and took the pictures.

“On Wednesday, August 14th 2024, the State Coordinator Delta State visited the Mercy Land Ministry and met the Head of Service – Mr. Ogunleye Fufeyin and the Chief Security Officer. The officials denied producing Miracle and Healing Water or Soap even with the evidence of the receipt of purchase.

“He claimed that only the Logo and address on the label were theirs but not the product. The HOS added that they only have a pool of Bethsaida water, which is spiritual and artificial. The HOS requested time to meet with other staff and returned. He returned after 30 minutes and refused to cooperate, asking them to see the CSO.

“On August 27th 2024, a team of Investigation and Enforcement NAFDAC and Federal Task Force on Counterfeit and Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods visited the Ministry to commence investigation on the place of purchase or the manufacturing site for possible sample collection, for laboratory analysis, but the officials did not cooperate with the team. Letters of invitation were issued to the officials to report on August 28th, but it was not honoured.
