As more revelations regarding the alleged arms scandal continue to unfold on daily basis, the Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Ali Ahmad has tasked the Federal Government to ensure that every individual involved in the scam is prosecuted regardless of their status in the society.

The speaker also urged the federal government to as a matter of urgency ?give national honours to the military officers who were earlier condemned to death 'for acts of disloyalty'.

Describing the arms deals as unfortunate for the country, Ahmad said while fielding questions from journalists shortly after he was honoured alongside other notable lawyers and judges for their contributions to the legal profession by the Ilorin branch of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) at the weekend, that it was disheartening to know the rate at which the nation's treasury was looted.

The speaker said, "Well, it is good we are seeing the results especially with the arms scandal. You will remember that some military personnel were during last administration jailed when they cried out that they couldn't face the insurgents with the kind of weapons and ammunitions they possessed. I think those officers that have been condemned to death deserve to be given national award or national honour. That is the least Mr President can do for them. And these guys that have squandered our money and exposed the officers to danger should be made to face the music. They should return our money and be sent to jail."
