The interpretation of Buhari's statement is that uniform men can shoot to kill civilians while civilians can also have a mob action on uniform men, all at an alleged instance of snatching ballot box.
This is presidential call for anarchy must be resisted. #APCJungleJustice

Hope the President is aware that he is trying to create more problems than he can already handle. We are battling with security of lives and properties presently as a Nation and we should not add jungle justice to the list.#APCJungleJustice
