Credit: Reuters/Afolabi Sotunde By Njuwa Maina and Joe Bavier KADUNA, Nigeria | Tue Apr 19, 2011 3:20pm EDT KADUNA, Nigeria (Reuters) - Post-election riots in northern Nigeria have killed at least 33 people in major cities alone, according to a tally from witnesses and rescue workers, but the overall death toll is believed to be much higher. Hundreds have been injured and thousands displaced by violence across the mostly-Muslim north after President Goodluck Jonathan won weekend elections. His rival, northerner and ex-military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, says the vote was rigged. Charred corpses lay in the Gonin-Gora neighborhood of Kaduna on Tuesday, one of them apparently "necklaced" with a burning tire. Health workers had already collected a dozen bodies there. One picked up a severed foot. "We're yet to finish, we have just started the work," said Zacharia Shamaki, Kaduna state environment commissioner, as health workers put corpses into an ambulance. Churches, mosques, homes and shops were set ablaze on Monday as Buhari's supporters, some chanting his name, went on the rampage. "No more PDP" -- a reference to Jonathan's ruling party -- was written in chalk beside one body lying in Kaduna. Buhari described the violence as "sad and unfortunate," but stopped short of a clear call for calm. "This dastardly act is not initiated by any of our supporters and therefore cannot be supported by our party," he said in a statement, dissociating himself from the violence. Soldiers patrolled the streets, enforcing a curfew in several states. But there were continued reports of violence in smaller towns where the military presence was smaller, including Zonkwa and Kafanchan south of Kaduna. Hospitals were overflowing. "We're full. We've got injuries ranging from battering, machete wounds and around five gunshot victims," said Ibrahim Gwarze, a doctor in the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. "We had a young boy, 7 years old, with a gunshot wound to the stomach," he said. DISPLACED Observers have called the poll the fairest in decades in Africa's most populous nation, which has a long history of votes marred by fraud and intimidation. But the results show how polarized the country of 150 million is, with Buhari, 68, sweeping the north and Jonathan, 53, winning the largely Christian south. "They burned my house and I was running from the rioters when I fell and broke my leg and they got me," said Joseph Agula, 25, a petrol station worker being treated in the Kano hospital with a machete wound to the head. 1 2 Next World Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
