At least 32 people have been killed in a bout of Muslim-Christian clashes in northern Nigeria.
Fifty-one people have sustained injuries, while 55 houses and 37 shops have been burned in the violence in the city of Kano, police spokesman Mr Kabir Shehu said.
A mosque, five churches and a hotel have been set ablaze along with 16 cars.
"We are determined to ensure that there's no repeat of this unfortunate incident," Mr Shehu said.
Nigeria, with 120 million people, is Africa's most populous nation. The West African country, divided into an overwhelmingly Muslim north and mostly Christian south, frequently suffers violent religious, ethnic and regional disputes.
Thousands of people have been killed in inter-religious fighting since a dozen predominantly Muslim northern states began imposing Shariah, or Islamic law, last year.
The latest violence erupted on Friday after Muslim fundamentalists protested against US-led air strikes on Afghanistan.
