.
The Act further states that anyone who directly or indirectly engages in electoral violence shall be liable to three years in prison or a fine of N1m
.
Section 131. (1) states, “A person who- Threatening directly or indirectly, by himself or by another person on his behalf, makes use of or threatens to make use of any force, violence or restrain; (b) inflicts or threatens to inflict by himself or by any other person, any minor or serious injury, damage, harm or loss on or against a person in order to induce or compel that person to vote or refrain from voting, or on account of such person having voted or refrained from voting; or (c) by abduction, duress, or a fraudulent device or contrivance, impedes or prevents the free use of the vote by a voter or thereby compels, induces, or prevails on a voter to give or refrain from giving his vote, (d) by preventing any political aspirants from free use of the media, designated vehicles, mobilisation of political support and campaign at an election, commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of N1,000, 000 or imprisonment for a term of three years.”

1. I'm from Plateau State...
2. Who would you sue if a police man shoots a ballot snatcher?
3. My support for this declaration has nothing to do with my love for Buhari... But my hate for every shitty election we have had so far
4. If you believe your Atiku is popular, why do you have an issue with this?

forget all this guy, if you love yourself, do not snatch ballot box on that day cause you will be shot dead and buhari will still have majority of the vote and also have more than 25% in about 27 states and he will be declared the winner.

Something is wrong with you brain... What concerns plateau killing with this or BUHARI? Under PDP plateau saw worst... 2001, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, were all the times plateau state was on fire because of crisis... You are just a blind follower of an outdated party, who has never won any election without rigging... Do you remember Dogo na hawa killings in plateau? Sure you don't, you were still writing JSCE by then, your mind is still to immature to understand

Buhari said Abacha was not a looter but Atiku. After sometime, he asked us to come for trader's moni. We asked for the source and he said it was the money recovered from Abacha. We asked for the one recovered from Atiku. No answer. Since the definition of looting has changed, one day we will recover money from Non Looter like Mamman Daura, Abba Kyari, Tinubu, Oshiomole, and Ganduje. Dr.Abubakar Gumi
