Background of the Dispute
Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, the founder and head prophet of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry in Warri, Delta State, is currently embroiled in a controversial dispute.
Activist Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman, has publicly criticized Fufeyin’s healing water project, dubbed “Pool of Bethesda.”
This conflict has garnered significant public attention, with both parties actively voicing their perspectives.
Activist Files Complaint with NAFDAC
Verydarkman has accused Prophet Jeremiah of exploiting his followers by selling a healing product that should be freely given, asserting misuse of power purportedly granted by God.
The activist escalated the issue by visiting the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC) office to file a formal complaint against the prophet’s products.
Verydarkman is advocating for governmental intervention to protect citizens from potentially harmful, unregistered products.
Upon submitting the petition, Verydarkman expressed hope that NAFDAC would take appropriate measures to safeguard public health.
He stressed the importance of regulatory oversight to prevent unverified products from reaching consumers.
Prophet Fufeyin’s Response and Testimonies
In reaction to Verydarkman’s NAFDAC visit, Prophet Jeremiah took to his Facebook page to post several videos showcasing testimonials from individuals claiming to have experienced healing through his water.
One prominent story featured a young man whose health conditions were allegedly misdiagnosed multiple times.
This individual recounted his ordeal with conflicting medical diagnoses that ranged from HIV to kidney infections, and later, cancer of the blood and leg.
After various inconclusive tests in Angola, Lagos, and Warri, he encountered Prophet Jeremiah, who advised him to drink the healing water from the “Pool of Bethesda.”
The young man concluded his testimony by asserting that months after consuming the water, his health significantly improved, leading to his recovery.
The ongoing dispute between Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin and Martins Otse Vincent highlights critical issues surrounding religious healing claims and consumer protection.
As both parties continue to present their arguments, the public remains keenly observant of NAFDAC’s response and subsequent actions.
