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. 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. Fufeyin has also being criticized of calling himself the first son of T. B. 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.
On 1 April 2017, Fufeyin seemed to have defended Suleman Johnson against his sex scandal, describing him as "innocent."
In April 2022, Fufeyin took Pastor Johnmark Ighosotu to court, alleging character defamation and cyber conspiracies following a confession in Ighosotu's church which contained accusations Fufeyin engaged in fraudulent activities.
On 22 March 2023, his church was destroyed by fire and he claimed the reason for the fire was because of his disobedience to God's instruction.
