The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has alerted Nigerians on the illegal production, sale, and advertisement of unregistered, suspected unwholesome miracle water and other brands of water, and miracle soap by Christ Mercy Land Delivery Ministries, Delta State, warning Nigerians to stop patronizing the product.
NAFDAC also sealed the Globod Table Water factory for aiding and abetting the production, sale, and advertisement of unregistered and unwholesome Miracle Water under the pretext of Fake NAFDAC Registration Number.
In a statement on Sunday, Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Moji Adeyeye, said that the ministry sells various “miracle waters” and soaps, which are claimed to have healing properties, including the ability to cure conditions like barrenness.
She noted that NAFDAC had been inundated with complaints from concerned citizens about the activities of the ministry’s senior prophet.
These complaints focused on the promotion and sale of unverified products, including items named “Miracle & Healing Water” and “The Miracle Water from The Pool of Bethsaida.”
According to the complaints, these products were being marketed with promises of miraculous results, such as assisting women in conceiving twins.
The church allegedly claimed that these products were registered with NAFDAC, which led several individuals to visit the agency’s offices to confirm the validity of the claims. However, upon investigation, NAFDAC confirmed that none of the products in question were registered.
In August 2024, NAFDAC’s Delta State Coordinator, acting on the petitions received, visited the ministry and purchased one of the miracle waters for N3,000.
When approached, church officials denied any involvement in the production or sale of the products, despite the existence of a purchase receipt.

The officials also refused to cooperate with NAFDAC’s investigation, causing delays by avoiding meetings and failing to provide necessary information.
Further investigations revealed that Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministries had entered into a manufacturing agreement with a local company to produce these products.
This agreement was made without notifying NAFDAC, violating regulatory requirements. Consequently, NAFDAC sealed the factory for its involvement in the unlawful production and sale of the miracle products under a falsified NAFDAC registration number.
Prof. Adeyeye stressed that these products are neither registered nor approved by NAFDAC and warned the public to refrain from purchasing them.
She reiterated the agency’s commitment to protecting the health and safety of Nigerians.
