Politicians, human rights activists, lawyers and prominent Nigerians have continued to react to President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement that for death awaits ballot box snatchers during the February 23 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Iseyin-born senior advocate, Chief Ahmed Raji, said a ballot box snatcher deserved to be visited with the full weight of the law.
Raji, who was Resident Electoral Commisioner, REC, for many years, 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.”
