Violence flared in at least two parts of Nigeria's second largest city, Kano, after a protest march by thousands of Muslims demanding that the government clamp down on Christian militia responsible for a massacre in the remote farming town of Yelwa. Thousands of Christians took refuge in a police academy on the outskirts of town. The police, who routinely withhold casualty figures from religious violence, could not confirm any deaths.
