Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has ordered the immediate arrest of Isyaku Katanga, the chairman of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria, AFAN, in Kiyawa Local Government Area.

The governor gave the directives when he paid an unscheduled visit to inputs distribution centres of the 2025 wheat farming programme at Kiyawa and Birninkudu local government areas.

This followed the allegation raised by some farmers accusing the AFAN chairman of the illegal increase of two thousand naira on the official amount to be paid by each farmer.

According to the governor: “We received complaints of alleged extortion of money from farmers. We will not accept this and whoever is involved must refund it back to farmers.”

He also pledged to ensure that the full package is given to the registered farmers as directed by the Federal Government.

Governor Namadi expressed concern for the delay and poor arrangements by agro-dealers assigned to distribute farm inputs to dry-season wheat farmers in the state.

He therefore called on the stakeholders to ensure that registered farmers received their allocation in good time so that they could start early preparation for dry-season wheat farming.
