Over seven Bishops led protesters to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control ( NAFDAC) office in Asaba, Delta State capital, calling on the agency to refrain from attacking the Senior Prophet of Christ MercyLand Deliverance Ministry, Abuja, Jeremiah Fufeyin, over his spiritual products.
The protesters, who were drawn from Fufeyin’s Church and other Christian faiths on Tuesday surrounded the NAFDAC office with different captions on placards despite the heavy rain to report their resentment.
Some of the placards read, “Spiritual products have spiritual backing, don’t need NAFDAC approval, When it comes to spiritual, respect it among others.
Speaking on behalf of the protesters, the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Charismatic Anglican Church of Nigeria, Samuel Baaba cautioned NAFDAC on spiritual matters.
Baaba said, “We are men of God and we are here in solidarity to send a message to NAFDAC to refrain from its step over spiritual matters.
“NAFDAC does not have the right to regulate spiritual products. There is a limit to what people can do especially when it comes to matters of faith”
Also, the Rector Union of Theological Institute and Seminary, Port Harcourt, Evangelical Church, Calixtus and Most 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 an amendment, I don’t know, where it could regulate the spiritual product.
