Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- At least 300 people have been killed in two days of post-election violence in Nigeria as mobs burned homes, churches and mosques, the Associated Press reported.

Authorities in the central Nigerian city of Jos imposed a round-the-clock curfew and sent troops to curb fighting between Hausa Muslims and Christians, AP said. The bodies of 300 victims were taken to the main mosque in Jos for prayers before burial, AP said, citing Sheikh Khalid Abubakar.

Violence flared yesterday after electoral workers failed to publicly post results of the first local election in Jos in more than a decade, AP said.
