ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - A weeklong census ended Monday in Nigeria as workers scrambled to tally everyone across Africa's most-populous nation, but many remained uncounted in the exercise, marred by violence and the lack of forms, census takers and money.
At least 15 people died in violence related to the count.
Police said they clashed with separatists opposed to the census in the country's southeast, while two communities in the southwest fought a deadly clash in a land dispute sparked by the count.
