200 people, including 40 parliamentarians from the Muslim state Kano in Northern Nigeria, attended the burning of the Danish and Norwegian flags Tuesday, BBC Online reports.
They shouted “Allah Akbar” (God is great) as Kanos parliament speaker Balarabe Saidu Gani set the flags alight.
On Monday, the MPs passed a resolution ordering the Kano state government to call off negotiations with Denmark over a hydroelectric plant worth some 25 million US dollar and to cancel the purchase of 72 buses from the country.
Meanwhile, the centre of Niamey, capital of neighbouring Niger, came to a standstill as tens of thousands of Muslim protesters called on Nigers government to condemn the cartoon.
Permission for the march was withdrawn at the last minute for fear the situation would get out of hand, but the protesters ignored this.
For three hours, religious leaders addressed angry crowds condemning what they called the gratuitous provocation of Muslims by the West.
Anti-riot police protected Denmarks embassy in the capital, but the demonstration came to an end peacefully. Niger is rated as the poorest country on Earth and receives development assistance from Denmark.
Protests against the cartoons in Muslim countries have targeted embassies and consulates of Denmark and Norway, the first countries where the cartoons were published, BBC adds.
