Kano state chapter of Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) has threaten to take legal action against beneficiaries, selling inputs collected from the Anchor Borrower Programme (ABP) in the state.

The association warned members to desist from the habit or face legal consequences.

The warning was contained in a statement signed and issued to newsmen in Kano by the state RIFAN Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Haruna Aliyu.

According to the statement, the association has received information that some of the farmers, who benefited from the ABP intervention are selling the inputs they received to some business people.

“The attention of RIFAN has been drawn to information that some of the benefiting farmers are in the habit of disposing the inputs given to them under the 2020 wet-season ABP to some business people.

“Such an act violates the conditions and provision guiding the conduct of ABP and as such the association had partnered with relevant security agencies to ensure that perpetrators of such act are brought to book,” it said.
