Nigeria’s drug authority, Nafdac, has issued a strong warning against buying “miracle” products from a church led by popular televangelist Jeremiah Fufeyin.

According to a report by BBC, these products, with names like “miracle water” and “River Jordan water,” claim to cure conditions like infertility, but Nafdac says these claims are fake.

The agency also pointed out that Fufeyin’s Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry is selling these items without their approval.

The church responded, saying they are law-abiding and use these spiritual items as part of their religious beliefs, which are protected by Nigerian law.

However, as noted by BBC, Nafdac began looking into the matter after complaints from the public and said that the church has not cooperated with the investigation.

Christ Mercyland, which has a massive following on YouTube and social media, denied the accusation and claimed they had communicated with Nafdac through a letter.

Fufeyin is known for attracting large crowds with promises of miracles and healing, but he has also been criticized for his wealthy lifestyle.

BBC also mentioned that in Nigeria, it’s common for preachers like Fufeyin to sell miracle products, referencing the late TB Joshua, who sold “anointed water” and reportedly mixed prescription drugs into his “healing” drinks while telling followers to stop taking their medicine.
