A group of protesters, led by seven bishops and comprising members of Christ MercyLand Deliverance Ministry, Abuja, and other Christian faiths, on Sunday, gathered at the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) office in Asaba, Delta State.

Defying heavy rainfall, the protesters carried placards with various inscriptions, expressing solidarity with Senior Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin and condemning alleged attacks by NAFDAC on his spiritual products.

The demonstrators urged NAFDAC to cease its alleged harassment of Prophet Fufeyin, emphasizing the importance of religious freedom and the value of his spiritual contributions.

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, 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 NAFDAC’s Director General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, on Sunday, alerted Nigerians to the activities of a faith-based organisation, Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries, led by Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, using the agency’s name to deceive the unsuspecting public

She said none of the products; Miracle & Healing Water, River Jordan Water, among others were registered with NAFDAC, advising the public to stop patronising any of the miracle products.
