President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Police and the military to be “ruthless” with ballot box snatchers.
WARNING: “I really gave the military and police order to be ruthless… Anybody who thinks he has enough influence in his locality to lead a body of thugs to snatch ballot boxes or disturbs the voting system, will do so at the expense of his own life." – President @MBuhari. pic.twitter.com/lhvT8yEZR2

In the video clip posted by the President’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, the President said he wanted Nigeria to be respected after the elections, hence the far reaching directive.
The video clip was posted by Ahmad on his verified Twitter handle, @BashirAhmaad:
President Buhari spoke at the All Progressives Congress national caucus meeting held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
PUNCH.
