jeffrey brown reports on the nigerian election. >> brown: the two front-runners are coming down to the wire, in what could be closest election since the end of military rule in 1999. president goodluck jonathan is facing off against former military dictator, muhammadu buhari, to lead africa's largest economy, its biggest oil producer and home to 173 million people. one man must win more than 50% of tomorrow's vote to avoid a runoff >> sreenivasan: jonathan, a christian from the south, has been in power since 2011. buhari, a muslim from the north, is a retired general who ruled nigeria in the 1980s, following a military coup. he is running on an anti- corruption platform. >> sreenivasan: but hanging over the election, and sidelining normal, election-year issues, is the rise of boko haram. the islamic militant group has killed more than a thousand civilians this year alone, and controls parts of northern nigeria, it recently pledged allegiance to the so-called islamic state. president jonathan cited the threat from boko haram when, in early february, he delayed this election six weeks. n

we grieve for the family of michael brown. that being said the justice department in its report made clear that the conduct that darren wilson engaged in is characteristic of the police department and that conduct was found to be unconstitutional unlawful violative of federal statutes and a conduct that is racially biased. the report itself speaks to any number of instances where we have police officers using overwhelming force for minor offenses where we have police dogs used against children selma style, birmingham style. so the fact that darren wilson was not indicted speaks to the ability of the justice department to bring a case against this individual. it's a tough prosecutorial decision not one that brings comfort or solace to the family. but we will continue to press hard to ensure that the ferguson police department does not continue to be a full service department of bias and bigotry and discrimination. >> let me get mark's reaction to the decision not to file any charges against the police officer. >> i have a lot o

protesters accused of shooting michael brown in the back as he was surrendering. nine months later the department of justice painted a different picture. after a sweeping investigation by the federal bureau of investigation. hundreds of interviews and review of physical and forensic evidence the 8 of page report concluded: the report lays out the reason for not charging former officer wilson with federal civil rights violations and examines the chronology of august 9th. it began before noon brown, in civilians video participated in the robbery of a box of cigars from a convenience store, assaulting the store clrk. a few minutes later officer darren wilson confronted brown, and a struggle ensued. the report concludes that: by the time it was over darren wilson fired 12 shots at michael brown, killing him on the spot.

has anything improved in the six months since michael brown was killed? >> as far as policing, no, it hasn't. it got worse because it seemed like the crime has went up and the jails are just running. they are way more packed than they were before mike brown was shot. the jails are way more packed. it has not improved at all. >> that is herbert nelson jr, a plaintive in this lawsuit. one of his sister's arrests was being in the car with a suspended license. the problem was that she was in her backyard in a parked car just sitting inside. for that, she was taken away. michelle alexander brought in this story from arrests to what they are calling modern-day debtors prisons. >> this is part of the story that many people are unaware of, the ways in which poor people particularly poor folks of color are targeted by our criminal justice system, arrested for extremely minor offenses, the very sorts of crimes that occur with equal frequency in middle-class communities or on college campuses, but go largely ignored -- targeted, arrested or cited and then saddled wi

philadelphia seth williams says the actions the police officer took against brown were justified. the officer stopped brown for driving without headlights in may fair on december 17th and saw guns in his car and asked him to get out and the officer said that brown reached for the gun and they opened fire and brown died at the scene. >>> police are following new leads in connection with the death of a philadelphia father. james stillman was killed while walking his dog in the overbrook section police are questioning two people but still looking for the one that pulled the trigger. chad pradelli joins us with more on the investigation. >> reporter: commissioner charles ramsey says this investigation is at a critical stage, there are several persons of interest that are interviewed and questioned and police are still looking for the shooter, all three suspects are identified but so far the district attorney has not approved charges. last night police searched the home of one of the suspects on west girard. and multiple guns were found but it's unclear if one was used to kill james st
