Early life and family

Criticism and controversy

Fufeyin has been criticized for his loud acts of charity, very public and showy focus on demons and "deliverance" in his ministry today.[5] During the covid-19 pandemic, he donated about N300million to staff, members of his church and to the Nigerian government. Fufuyin also returned their tithes and offerings, that it was time of giving back.[6] Fufeyin has also being criticized of calling himself the first son of TB Joshua which he has denied vehemently saying he respects every man of God including T.B Joshua but he has never called himself the first son. Some call him Warri TB Joshua, Niger Delta TB Joshua, Ijaw TB Joshua. He rejected those names stating that he is simply Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin[7]

On 1 April 2017, Fufeyin seemed to have defended Suleman Johnson against his sex scandal, describing him as "innocent."[8]
