Seven Archbishops, Revered Fathers Lead Protests Against NAFDAC Over Prophet Fufeyin’s Water Factory Sealing
Warri, Nigeria- In an unprecedented demonstration of unity, seven Archbishops and several Reverend Fathers have spearheaded a protest against the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Asaba, Delta State. Following its decision to seal Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin’s miracle water factory. The religious leaders are urging NAFDAC to reverse its decision, which they have called unjust and discriminatory.
The group released a statement criticizing the ban on the sale of Prophet Fufeyin’s miracle water. According to the clerics, various religious institutions in Nigeria utilize materials like miracle water as part of their faith practices, and Prophet Fufeyin’s ministry should not be singled out. They underscored that Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministries, the church led by Prophet Fufeyin, has been selling the water for years without prior issues or complaints from NAFDAC.
The religious leaders further alleged that the agency’s actions were driven by personal biases and possibly bribery, rather than legitimate health or safety concerns. They pointed out that the water has provided economic benefits to the local community, with funds generated from its sale reportedly going to charity and supporting underprivileged residents.
Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, the founder of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministries, echoed these sentiments, accusing NAFDAC of harassment. He maintained that the miracle water produced at his factory adheres to all required health and safety standards, and that the agency had failed to provide concrete reasons for the sealing of the factory. Fufeyin labeled the closure as a form of intimidation and an assault on his ministry.
The protests have gained significant momentum, with many local residents joining the religious leaders in condemning NAFDAC’s actions. Supporters argue that the closure has not only impacted Prophet Fufeyin’s church but has also imposed financial strain on the broader community. Many of them depend on the water, both spiritually and economically, as its sale was tied to charitable efforts aiding the less fortunate.

As tensions rise, all eyes are on NAFDAC, with speculation over whether the agency will reconsider its decision. The dispute could have larger implications, potentially affecting the relationship between Nigeria’s religious leaders, regulatory authorities, and local businesses.
The ongoing protests, coupled with the public outcry, suggest that this confrontation between Prophet Fufeyin’s supporters and NAFDAC may intensify before a resolution is reached. The outcome could set a precedent for how government agencies regulate religious institutions and their commercial ventures in Nigeria.
