President Buhari has warned that anybody involved in ballot box
snatching during the February 23rd and March 6th general elections will
pay with his or her live.
Speaking at an All Progressives Congress (APC) Caucus meeting in
Abuja on Monday morning, February 18th, President Buhari said that an
unlawful act such as ballot snatching will not be tolerated. He added
that he has given the police and the military instructions to be
ruthless with anyone that would want to cause trouble at polling units.
I have briefed the law enforcement agencies. They have
identified hotspots and flashpoints. They too should be prepared to
move. They too must have made their arrangements as much as possible.Anybody that decides to snatch boxes or lead thugs to the polling units may be the last unlawful action he will take.
I have told the military and the police to be ruthless. We are not
going to be blamed that we want to riug elections. I want Nigerians to
be respected. Let them go to wherever they want across the parties. I am
not afraid. I have gone to the 36 states and Abuja. I think I have
gotten enough support across the country to look after me.I am going to warn anybody who thinks he has enough influence in his
own locality to lead a body of thugs to snatch boxes or to disturb the
voting system, he will do it at the expense of his own life” he said
