‘Don’t Buy’: NAFDAC Probes Prophet Jeremiah’s Miracle Soap, Water

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a scheme by Prophet Jeremiah Omoto, operating under Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries in Delta State, to sell unregistered products to unsuspecting Nigerians.

The products, including “miracle water” and “miracle soap”, are falsely claimed to be NAFDAC-approved and possess healing properties, such as curing barrenness and ensuring pregnancy with twins.

According to NAFDAC’s Resident Media Consultant, Mr. Olusayo Akintola, “the suspect showcased the use of the miracle water and miracle soap on social media.

“He claimed that they had the capacity to heal barrenness, and that women who used both products would be pregnant with twins.”

NAFDAC said its investigation revealed that these products are not registered with the agency and have not undergone necessary safety and efficacy tests.

The agency disclosed that it had received petitions from concerned citizens, prompting an investigation.

The agency’s team visited the church, purchased the products, and took evidence, but church officials denied producing the items despite the evidence.

“The officials of the church did not cooperate with the team, which prompted the issuing of a letter of invitation for them to report at the NAFDAC office in Asaba for further investigation, but it was not honored”,  Akintola said.

Further investigation led to the sealing of Globod Table Water’s factory, which was allegedly involved in the production of the unregistered products.

NAFDAC warned the public to stop patronizing these products, noting that it only registers products based on scientific evidence.

“NAFDAC wishes to inform the public that none of these products being advertised and sold are registered with NAFDAC.

”The public is also advised to stop patronising any of these products. NAFDAC is a scientific organisation that is guided by verifiable facts before registering any product,” Akintola said.

“In the meantime, we will continue with our investigation into the activities of this faith organisation,” he said
