Michael Nwagbegbe wrote on Facebook:
"Once a security agent shoots a ballot box snatcher he has excluded the judiciary from its constitutional role. That isn't the intendment of the law. That is an aberration.
Even for the capital offence of murder, the accused is always given the opportunity of a trial in a law court. To kill an alleged offender before he is convicted and sentenced is itself an offence. No sane man will endorse such barbarism."
