Thousands of Nigerians have taken to the streets in protest over alleged killings of opposition campaign workers and voting irregularities.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) claims scores of its members have been killed and blames people working for President Goodluck Jonathan's party.
Riot police and armoured cars were deployed to control the demonstration in the country's oil-producing centre, Port Harcourt.
Police reported that three people, including a soldier, were killed there on election day.
"Whatever trash will be announced as the result of today's election is not acceptable to us," the APC concluded.
"A sham and a charade," the party added, referring to the election.
It comes after polling had to be extended into Sunday because of problems with new machines reading biometric cards.
The election - the tightest since the end of military rule in 1999 - has been marred by sporadic violence.
Officials say Boko Haram militants killed 39 people in northeastern Nigeria on Saturday.
Residents of the town of Miringa said the militants set fire to people's homes and then shot them as they tried to escape - reportedly killing 25.
