As Prophet Fufeyin faces an investigation by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control over allegations of selling miracle products, prominent gospel singer Victoria Orenze has issued a stern warning to Christians, urging them to beware of infiltrators who misuse religious authority.
The ‘Truth In Sounds’ singer’s comment comes against the backdrop of controversies surrounding the sale of the products branded “miracle water” and “River Jordan water”, amongst others, by a faith-based organisation, Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries, led by Prophet Fufeyin.
In a statement addressing the public on her verified Instagram page, Orenze criticized the practices of some religious leaders who deviate from the teachings of Jesus Christ. “Dear General Public,” she began, “for those that are quick to call anyone USING (abusing) the name of JESUS CHRIST, pastors, prophets, etc., JESUS did not slam anyone on chairs like a wrestler. JESUS did not sell spiritual fish, key, water, light, money, ATM, apple, mango, and more.”
Fufeyin who is not new to controversies, having been accused of allegedly attempting to bribe OAP Daddy Freeze back in 2020, is known to perform questionable miracles.
Orenze continued, “There are more like them that are less or almost not obvious like they are, some sleek, smooth, and very appealing in their ways. Those using juju to perform miracles, using divination to prophesy, and more. Looking nothing like JESUS CHRIST in the Bible but the one they have created for themselves.”
She urged the public to recognize and reject such figures, calling them “INFILTRATORS” rather than genuine servants of God. Orenze also appealed for compassion and prayer for those who follow these misleading leaders, suggesting they might be under a spiritual spell.
Her statement highlights growing concerns about the commercialization of religion and its impact on true spiritual practice. As the investigation continues, Orenze’s message serves as a reminder to remain vigilant and faithful to the authentic teachings of Christianity.
NAFDAC Seals Fufeyin’s ‘Miracle Water’ Factory
Following complaints from Nigerians, NAFDAC proceeded to seal the ‘miracle water’ factory of the controversial cleric, warning the public that none of the products being promoted or sold by the Fufeyin have been registered with NAFDAC.
“NAFDAC wishes to alert the public to the deceptive practices of Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries,” NAFDAC’s Director General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye said. “This organization is falsely using our name to promote products that are not registered with us and making unverifiable claims about their efficacy.”
The agency has been inundated with complaints regarding Miracle Water and Miracle Soap being sold by the ministry, which has falsely claimed these products can cure various ailments and even ensure twin births. The statement continued, “We have received numerous petitions from concerned citizens about these so-called Miracle products. The claims made by the ministry, including that the Miracle Soap is NAFDAC-registered and can cure barrenness, are entirely false.”
NAFDAC’s statement further detailed that products such as Miracle & Healing Water, River Jordan Water, Miracle Water from The Pool of Bethsaida, and others were brought to their attention. “Upon reviewing these products, it became evident that they are neither registered nor verified by NAFDAC,” said Prof. Adeyeye.
In response to the complaints, NAFDAC’s Delta State Coordinator was dispatched to investigate. Despite purchasing the Miracle Water and presenting evidence, the ministry’s officials denied any involvement with the products. “Our Coordinator’s attempts to engage with the ministry’s representatives were met with denial and evasion,” the statement noted. “The officials initially admitted only to having spiritual Bethsaida water, which they claimed was artificial, and refused to cooperate further.”
NAFDAC also addressed the ministry’s lack of cooperation. “Despite multiple invitations and a legal document submission requesting extra time, the ministry failed to provide any substantive information or cooperate with our investigation,” Prof. Adeyeye explained. “On August 27, 2024, our team, along with the Federal Task Force, faced significant resistance while attempting to investigate the ministry’s premises.”
The statement concluded with NAFDAC’s actions to seal the Globod Table Water factory, which was involved in the production of the unregistered Miracle Water. “We have taken decisive action by sealing the factory to prevent the continued production and distribution of these unregistered products,” stated Prof. Adeyeye.
NAFDAC warns the public to avoid purchasing any Miracle products from Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries. “We urge the public to be vigilant and avoid patronizing these fraudulent products. NAFDAC is committed to protecting public health through stringent scientific verification and regulatory practices,” Prof. Adeyeye added.
The agency vowed to continue its investigation while emphasising the importance of adhering to regulatory requirements for product production and distribution. “We remain dedicated to ensuring that all products on the market are safe and properly regulated,” Prof. Adeyeye concluded.
