Gunfire, ballot thefts plague Nigeria state races

Last week there waas a gunfire and 500 people was killed in the gunfire. The attacker was one of the people who was voting. Two elections in the states hardest hit by the postelection violence that left charred corpses along the highways are due to be held Thursday.
While international observers applauded Nigeria's legislative and presidential elections held earlier this month, the violence that has erupted in the aftermath has threatened the stability of this major U.S. oil-supplying nation in West Africa. About 700 members of Nigeria's National Youth Service Corps, who were supposed to run polling stations, already had been evacuated from states in the country's Muslim north hit by violence last week.  There was an attack during the electon too, An estimated 40,000 people left amid postelection violence and retaliatory attacks following the April 16 presidential election, and it's not clear how many have returned.

I think the government should have stop this things from happiening long time ago but he didn't take it serious, i think the government should find the person who started the attatck and killed them or take them for life in prison.
