Human Rights Watch: 800 Nigerians Killed in Electoral Violence

http://www.voanews.com/english/news/africa/Human-Rights-Watch-Says-At-Least-800-Nigerians-Were-Killed-in-Electoral-121889384.html
Three days of rioting began when supporters of opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari burned electoral commission offices and police stations following results that showed President Goodluck Jonathan winning the vote last month. Human Rights Watch Nigeria researcher Eric Guttschuss says the violence then turned sectarian as northern; predominantly Muslim Buhari supporters began attacking southern, mostly Christian Jonathan supporters. Individuals from the south who were seen as supporting the incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan were also attacked and houses and shops burned. Kaduna state was the most violent.
Christians in southern parts of Kaduna state responded with their own attacks. Members of Christian ethnic groups retaliated by also attacking Muslims and Hausa-Fulani, who are predominantly Muslim. 

Idk why can't they arrest Buhari and just do something to him because he is bringing violance into the country. i think they should kill him for the violance he as bring into the country, but the people shouldn't have join him to like the muslim, they help him kill the christain.
