He had said: “Anyone who tries to disrupt the electoral process or carry the ballot boxes will be doing so “at the expense of his own life”.
But reacting, Fani- Kayode who described the statement as ‘disgusting, wondered why a civilian President would order security agencies to kill ballot snatchers.
He tweeted, “I am disgusted about @MBuhari’s orders to his security agencies to kill people for ballot-snatching.
