Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has described as illegal, Mr. Umar Farouk’s registration of a different All Farmers Association of Nigeria (Kano State branch) after his expulsion from the body in 2016.

According to the commission, “A review of our records revealed that All Farmers Association of Nigeria Kano Chapter was inadvertently registered without the consent of All Farmers Association of Nigeria being sought.”

Consequently, the CAC directed Mr. Farouk and others acting as trustees of the illegally registered body to change its name to a name clearly distinguishable from All Farmers Association of Nigeria within six weeks from the date of the letter, pursuant to the provision of section 593 and other relevant provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).”

National President of AFAN, Kabir Ibrahim, had earlier called for the prosecution of Farouk and others who allegedly collaborated to illegally register a fake branch of the association.

Farouk has been recognised as the National Caretaker Chairman of AFAN by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Alhaji Sabo Nanono, and appointed as AFAN’s representative on the Special COVID-19 Task Team.

Recall that AFAN, which is a registered Non-Governmental Organisation, is national in outlook and boasts of registered members in all the 774 local government areas in the country and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
