Credit: Reuters/Afolabi Sotunde By Joe Brock and Mike Oboh KANO, Nigeria | Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:50am EDT KANO, Nigeria (Reuters) - Soldiers patrolled the streets in Nigeria's mostly Muslim north Tuesday and aid workers began to assess the toll from deadly rioting against President Goodluck Jonathan's election victory. The Red Cross said many people were killed, hundreds injured and thousands displaced in protests across northern Nigeria on Monday by supporters of Jonathan's northern rival, former army ruler Muhammadu Buhari, who say the election result was rigged. Churches, mosques, homes and shops were razed. There were pockets of violence outside main cities early on Tuesday, where there was less of a military presence. "There was an upsurge in areas of Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna (states) outside the state capitals," said Umar Mairiga, national disaster management coordinator for the Red Cross. Rescue workers said they had been unable to reach the worst-affected neighborhoods and could not yet give a death toll, although a curfew imposed across at least five states appeared to have been relaxed to allow movement in some areas. Charred tyres lay in side streets for block after block in the Tudun Wada neighborhood of Kaduna. Soldiers manned checkpoints every few hundred meters. The injured spilled onto the street outside an army hospital, several with bloodied bandages around their heads. Christian residents who fled to military and police barracks in Kano to shelter during the unrest blamed Buhari, whose party has refused to accept results which say Jonathan won Saturday's election with 59 percent of the vote. "How can he allege rigging. Jonathan won across the nation. They should accept the results rather than killing and destroying people and property," said Olaoye Ade, who fled with his wife and children to a police barracks in Kano. "I am here with my family in the barracks instead of celebrating the nation's new-found democracy." POLARISED The election results show how polarized the country of 150 million is, with Buhari, 68, sweeping the north and Jonathan, 53, winning the largely Christian south. 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. Diplomats, analysts and ruling party supporters criticized Buhari, who has strong grass roots support in the north, for failing to come out clearly to call for calm and condemn the violence being perpetrated in his name. "He has not asked anyone to engage in any violent conduct. He had the capacity to call people out and he didn't. He understands that people feel cheated," Buhari's spokesman Yinka Odumakin told Reuters. 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.
