Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - Thousands of people spilled into the streets of northern Nigeria's biggest city Kano on Tuesday to celebrate after opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari claimed victory in the presidential election.

A cavalcade of motorbikes and cars with their headlights on and horns blaring paraded through the streets of the ancient seat of learning and commercial hub, an AFP correspondent said.
