Anybody that snatches ballot box will pay with his life – Buhari

President of the Federal republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has warned that anybody who is caught in the act of ballot box snatching during the general elections will pay with his life.

President Muhammadu Buharri spoke during a Caucus meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC)  in Abuja on Monday morning (February 18 2019).

Buhari also revealed that he has given the police and the military instructions to use force on anyone who makes any attempt at ballot snatching.

In his words:

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
