ABUJA, Nigeria, April 25 (UPI) -- At least 500 people died and more than 65,000 were displaced in violence after President Goodluck Jonathan's election in Nigeria, a relief agency said.
The Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria said most of the deaths occurred in northern Nigeria, where Muslim supporters of defeated presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari attacked churches, homes and police stations, sparking reprisals by Christians, Voice of America reported Sunday.
