Nigerians have taken to social media to react to President Muhammadu Buhari’s threat that anybody that attempts to snatch ballot boxes in the rescheduled general election would pay with their lives.

Buhari made the comment at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caucus Meeting on Monday.

The president also said he had directed security agencies to deal “ruthlessly” with election ballot box snatchers and election riggers.

He said,Β β€œI am going to warn anybody who thinks he has enough influence in his locality to lead a body of thugs to snatch boxes or to disturb the voting system, he would do it at the expense of his own life.”
