Following President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday matching orders to security operatives to deal ruthlessly with election riggers and ballot box snatchers, the #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk campaign has gone viral on social media.
Here are some of the reactions on twitter:
Anyone who try to rig the election will do so at the risk of their own lives #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk pic.twitter.com/BH5FidQjU7

I like how the president's #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk warning makes some people bleed. You can imagine what they planned for last Saturday. Rig the coming elections with your life. That's all.

Why are you angry? Are you planning to snatch ballot boxes? That in itself is Treason..
Every party should actually be against ballot snatching.. If you actually mean well for Nigeria.. But then, you are paid to tweet against the good of the land #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk— Olashile Abayomi (@FireOFola) February 18, 2019
You mean ballot box snatchers have doubled their price? #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk #NigeriaDecides2019 pic.twitter.com/o9eIkMTzqx

I guess i agree that ballot boxes should not be snatched as long as the shoot at sight order by @MBuhari is not limited to members of a particular Party. #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk. #Elections2019 #YourViewTVC

Enough of your lawlessness. Where's the Judiciary ? Useless Judiciary. Nigeria is bigger than all of you, there should be no mercy for ballot box snatchers, they should be counting that box in Hell fire Kilode gan ?#SnatchatYourOwnRisk

Those who snatch ballot boxes don’t come to serve you pounded yam and whisk soup when they come for the boxes. They come with arms. You stand on their way, you die. #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk

Dear Association of Agberos and thugs, if you are planning on snatching ballot boxes on Saturday, be warned. Buhari is not joking. The era of rigging and snatching of ballot box is over. Meanwhile prepare your will if you still want to go ahead with it. #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk
