Dozens of troops are deployed around a large Lagos market area, where police said "hoodlums" had been harrassing market vendors, according to an AFP correspondent at the scene. The country is awaiting news of the results of the presidential election held on Saturday, 25 February. For the first time since the end of military rule in 1999, a surprise third-party candidate, Labour Party's Peter Obi, has challenged the APC and PDP dominance with a message of change and an appeal to younger voters.
