KANO, Nigeria (AP) - Supporters of rival political parties clashed in northern Nigeria over the results of local government elections, leaving six people dead and dozens behind bars, police said.
Voters in northern Kano state cast ballots Saturday for leaders of their local constituencies, and supporters of the governing party battled members of the leading opposition group Sunday as results began trickling out.
Six people died in the clashes in Kano state, and dozens were arrested with machetes and firearms, Kano State Police Commissioner Aminu Yesifu told reporters.
