A senior advocate of Nigeria SAN, Mr. Ahmed Raji, has said a ballot box snatcher deserved to be visited with the full weight of the law.

He added that the President’s statement was a warning to whoever was planning to snatch ballot boxes on the day of election that such culprit could be shot by security agencies in the process of trying to effect an arrest.

Raji said, “Anybody who is trying to rubbish our elections and therefore giving the country a bad name should be visited with the full wrath of the law.”

.......Leave Ballot Boxes Snatchers alone" PDP warns President Buhari.

Hahaha.....

Another SAN, Seyi Sowemimo reasoned that the President was merely sending a strong message that electoral offences would no more be tolerated.

He said: “We should be charitable enough not to ascribe to the President that he wants to encourage security agents to kill people. I think with the postponement and the reasons given for the postponement, you can tell that it’s been a disappointment for everybody, including the president himself and maybe more so for him, because it may have appeared as if it is a failure on his administration.

“So, I think the man was trying to send a very strong message out there, that all these things that have militated against elections going on, like buildings being burnt down and all that.

“I think it’s just right that he should let people know that we really can’t afford to have any disruption in our plans anymore. So, I don’t think he’s asking them to murder people.”

He added: “The duty of the president is to enforce all laws in our country. That’s why they are the executive arm of the government. They are to enforce laws and to stop criminality in the land. So, he’s merely saying the obvious, that ‘I will enforce the law, I will punish the offender according to law’. So, what is unconstitutional about that?

“There are laws that prohibit crime, electoral offences and so on. So, if you contravene them, he is saying he will enforce the law. He is merely saying the obvious. What is his duty if he cannot say that? Then who else will do it? That’s executive function.”

Trying to justify the preposterous speech by the president. Buhari made that treat to scare people so they won’t come out to vote.

Ballot snatchers be warned, you will harmed, shot and maimed. Nigerians must be allowed to vote in peace.

Tell them Ooooo.... Saturday will be hot and bloody for them

the insanity of buharideens is unfathomable...

there are legal provisions to deal with electoral offences, why advocate for things to be done outside the rule of law?


in the 2011 elections, buhari's utterances led to deaths of hundreds of innocent lives, including corp members.

now, he is giving institutional backing to 'jungle justice' by security forces, same security forces that are well known for their indiscipline especially when it comes to the use of firearms.


& knowing the way PMB is fighting corruption, one can be rest assured that APC members will have security to support Thier own vote buying & ballot box snatching atrocities.


there must be a limit to those supporting this madness & abuse of the rule of law...

in April 2018, the national assembly was invaded by thugs, till date, the president has not condemned that act, security forces are not even investigating the matter anymore.

Who snatches ballot Box in 2019?
Dis PMP is livn in d past.
If a ballot box is snatched INEC reschedules election dre.
D real riggers re those who rewrite result sheets.

How re Nigerians dis dumb?

When will all these illegality end.

Hypocrite everywhere.... If those who snatch ballot once everywhere four years deserve death punishment, what about those who continue and constantly milk the citizen of thier tax payers money, siphoning the national treasury, kill the innocent, turn blind eye to all sort of religious and political killings, killing people with hunger & starvation with their actions/inactions while in office.


No one is bigger than almighty God.


A day of reckoning is coming .

God is watching .

Fellow nairalanders wish me a happy birthday

I ask again.... Are you planning to snatch ballot boxes on Saturday..... If you are not then there is no need for the long epistle you wrote there. However if you are planning something like that then know that Death is on the way.

Only a fool will risk ballot snatching at 2019, rigging has gone digital.. APC/PDP ain't concerned abt those voting but rather focus their machinery on the counting/coalition... did kano state use "ballot box snatching " to give GEJ a TKO at 2015 elections?

Have snatched ballot boxes not always been cancelled and if the Margin of win is less, election is re-conducted there.

extrajudicial killing is murder & when done by the state, it is an act of terror.

such senseless acts outside the law does not know guilty from innocent. stray bullets do not care whom it hits...

it's just crazy...

they have forgotten that this same pmb's insensitive comments in 2011 led to the death of corp members, now the tyrant is giving security forces, well known for their indiscipline with firearms, licence to shoot at will...

this is less than 48hrs after a customs officer snuffed the life out of a citizen because of N5,000.

I nor tell you? PDP supporters are dunderheads . They don't read to learn.



Buhari is a better match for Dubai rigging strategy.

Mmmmmh

How many ballot box snatchers have been prosecuted? None. Because when they are arrested the people who sent them would come and bail them and that is why we are solidly behind PMB on the #Snatchtheballotboxatyourownrisk comment. If u snatch the box you will be gunned down instantly.

If you are planning to do that think twice our security operatives are ready for you even your juju will not save you from their AK 47

To all parents warn your children

The same security will permit APC snatchers to go
