An APC chieftain and Director of UMR-AL-ALD Nigeria Limited, Malam Hassan Umar Isah, has strongly appealed to Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani to intervene in what is termed the forceful seizure of his farmland by the Director General of the Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), Dr. Bashir Garba Ibrahim.
Malam Hassan Umar Isah made the appeal during an interview with journalists at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Kaduna State.
According to him, the KADGIS DG unofficially used his office to seized his farmland and purchased it for N150 million on February 26, 2025.
The property, covering 3.908 hectares in Unguwan Kudu, Unguwan Rimi, Kaduna North Local Government Area, was allegedly inherited by the late family of Malam Muhammad Buda and originally given by the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto.
Isah, who also served as Director of an APC support group for Uba Sani and Tinubu 2027, alleged that the KADGIS Director attempted to sabotage Governor Uba Sani’s mandate of equity and justice by demanding 40–60% of the property’s value in exchange for issuing a Certificate of Occupancy (CofO).
According to Isah, he applied for a Certificate of Occupancy at KADGIS on April 17, 2025, following an agreement with the late Buda family’s representative, Malam Bature Muazu.
He further disclosed that on December 18, 2025, Dr. Ibrahim verbally announced that he had taken possession of the land without providing any justification.
Isah has urged the Kaduna State Government and relevant authorities to intervene and end what he described as discrimination and ensure the return of his farmland alongside the issuance of the CofO, noting that he has provided all necessary documents to support his claims.
