The National President of Nigeria Cassava Growers Association (NCGA), Pastor Segun Adewumi has said that following the fear of herdsmen attack, most farmer leaders now go to farms with police escorts.
He said the situation has deteriorated that most farmers have abandoned their farms despite collecting loans to set up the farms.
Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune, Pastor Adewumi said he has been receiving several reports of attack on his members by suspected Fulani herdsmen while on their farms.
He said they are in talks with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for an additional funding for farmers to provide security for their farms.
