Voting is underway in Nigeria after last week's presidential election touched off rioting in some northern states. Nigerian voters were accredited at polling stations Tuesday before casting their ballots for statewide offices. It is the third and final round of voting in nationwide elections to choose lawmakers and a president.
Goodluck Jonathan was elected president in a vote last week, after which supporters of opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari attacked churches, homes and police stations. The human rights group the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria says at least 500 people were killed in that violence. Buhari says President Jonathan's election was rigged and that he intends to challenge the result in court. The police came to stop it but they couldn't stop because the people attact them too. The group is attacking police and religious leaders because it says they wrongly associate with a federal government that it is trying to sabotage Islam.
As i said at first the government give them the change to do it, if he would had stop this long time ago it wouldn't have happien again but i think the government should sent Buhari to prison for killing all those people for no reason just becasue he lost the election. I think he didnt had the right to do that but he did it because the government couldn't stop him from doing it thats why he did it.
