The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has announced that it is investigating products promoted by Delta-based preacher Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin after he claimed they were approved by the agency.
NAFDAC refuted the cleric’s assertions, stating that his miracle soap and water products are not NAFDAC-approved, and warned the public against patronizing them.
NAFDAC’s resident media consultant, Sayo Akintola, clarified that the agency takes action when products under its regulatory purview, whether religious or not, are presented as approved by NAFDAC.

“The moment you say you have a product that falls under our regulated products, definitely we have to get involved,” Akintola said in an interview with PUNCH on Monday.
Fufeyin responded through a statement on his Facebook page, denying the accusations, and insisted that he never used NAFDAC’s name to deceive the public.
His miracle soap and water had gained attention after social media influencer Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, publicly criticized the cleric.
Akintola emphasized that NAFDAC’s priority is public safety, explaining that the agency will ensure these products do not pose health risks, including potential cancer concerns for users.
