The dispute between Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin and NAFDAC centers on whether spiritual products like ‘miracle water’ and soaps fall under the agency’s regulatory authority.
Fufeyin argues that these items, which are marketed as having spiritual benefits, should be exempt from NAFDAC approval, suggesting that they are beyond the scope of the agency’s jurisdiction.
This disagreement reflects broader tensions in Nigeria between religious practices and governmental oversight, with the potential implications for how spiritual products are regulated and monitored for public safety.
