Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has said those involved
in sharing the $2.1bn meant for arms procurement should be served
adequate punishment commensurate to the crime committed against the
nation.
The governor said this in Osogbo on Friday at the 2016 Armed Forces Remembrance Day in honour of fallen heroes.
While commending President Muhammdu Buhari for unraveling the
looting, he said that all those found guilty should be severely
punished without exception.
I say "All Looters Should Be Jailed For Life" except they return the stolen funds...
We need more stringent laws for those who steal the nations money.....
Aregbesola lamented the situation where some of the soldiers caught
and indicted have been pardoned and some losing their commission while
others face uncertain future, said it was pertinent that a fresh inquiry
be set up so that justice will be done.
The governor stated that the corruption perpetrated by the past
administration caused massive destruction of lives and property adding
that lack of superior weapons by the military forced some soldiers to
run away from the insurgents.
He said, “It is even a monumental scandal of unimaginable
proportion that funds meant for procuring arms for soldiers are shared
among members of the Peoples Democratic Party without the least
compunction.
