The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration (NAFDAC) has sealed factory allegedly producing ‘miracle’ water and soap in Delta state.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the agency’s Chief Executive Officer, Mojisola Adeyeye, on Sunday.
As contained in the statement, Adeyeye warned members of the public against the illegal products manufactured by a church, Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministry, in Delta state.
The said miracle water and soap were claimed to be NAFDAC approved, which the agency denied.
Following several petitions and investigations, the agency sealed a factory linked to the production of the illegal products.
The statement read in part; “The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) informs the public about the illegal production and sale of unregistered “miracle” water and soap by Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministries, Delta State.
“These products falsely claimed to be NAFDAC-approved, are being advertised with unverifiable healing properties, including promises to cure barrenness. NAFDAC has received numerous petitions and launched an investigation into these deceptive activities.
“Despite attempts to engage with the ministry, the organisation has refused to cooperate with NAFDACs investigation. The products, including “Miracle Water” and “River Jordan Water,” are not registered with NAFDAC, and their production violates regulatory guidelines.
“NAFDAC has sealed the factory linked to the production and continues its investigation.
“NAFDAC advises the public to stop purchasing these unregistered products and warns faith organisations against illegal production and sale of unregulated items.
“The Agency remains committed to ensuring public health safety and will continue to take action against non-compliant entities.”
