Three people, including a police officer, were killed when Muslim students rioted over a caricature of Mohammed by their Christian colleagues, according to teachers and police officials.

Students of Government Secondary School Sumaila went on a "rampage" Thursday after a Christian student who had been on suspension for two weeks after drawing a caricature of the Prophet and posting it on a wall inside the school, returned to school.

At a press conference outside of the police station, Kano police chief Aminu Yesufu said "Two people and a police inspector have been killed in the violence while the divisional police station and everything inside including ammunition have been burnt by the rioters."

Besides the three dead, which included a police inspector, 20 others were badly wounded with one divisional police officer suffering a deep machete cut to the head.

An investigation has been opened and 25 people have already been arrested.

A teacher at the school, Sadiq Haruna, told an AFP reporter "The students began chanting Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) when the Christian student returned and pursued him to lynch him."

She goes on to report that the student took refuge at the local police station but hundreds of Muslim students attacked the police station and set the premises on fire, after the police refused to hand him over.

On Thursday last week the police had to shoot and kill one rioter over alleged blasphemy by a Christian woman. They also wanted top lynch that woman, but she escaped unhurt.

44 people were arrested in that incident after other rioters went on rampage and looted houses of policemen in town and burnt shops belonging to Christians. That police station was also burnt down.
