The Nigerian city of Kano has spent a night under curfew as police struggle to stem violence by young Muslims seeking to avenge a massacre last week.

City police official Abdul Ganiyu has confirmed there were deaths in the city on Tuesday when crowds attacked non-Muslims on the northern city's streets.

Witnesses counted at least seven bodies on the streets, some of them charred.

Muslim leaders, who held a peaceful rally before the riots, have joined Nigeria's leader in urging calm.
