Bishops from Fufeyin Church and other Christian faiths on Tuesday staged a protest against the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) over an alleged attack on Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin over spiritual products.

The protesters besieged the NAFDAC office in Asaba, Delta State with different inscriptions of placards despite the heavy rain to register their grievances.

They said, “Spiritual products have spiritual backing, does not need NAFDAC approval.”

Speaking on behalf of the protesters, the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Charismatic Anglican Church of Nigeria, Most Rev. Prof. Samuel Baaba cautioned NAFDAC on the spiritual matters.

He said, “We are men of God and we are here in solidarity and to send a message to NAFDAC to refrain from its step over spiritual matters.

“NAFDAC does not has right to regulate spiritual products. There is a limit to what people can do especially when it comes to matters of faith.”

Also, Rector Union Theological Institute and Seminary, Port Harcourt, Evangelical Church, Most Rev. Calixtus, and Most Rev. Celestine Ewurum added that they were only interested in the issue that concerned items that are spiritual.

“To the best of my knowledge and which I have read through the NAFDAC Act, 2004, if there is amendment, I don’t know, where it could regulate spiritual product,” Calixtus said.

“NAFDAC don’t have right to declare the products fake, when it never tested the product, NAFDAC should come out clearly to say what is wrong with the water.”
