LAGOS: An explosion in central Nigeria on Friday killed at least eight people, police said, with the incident occurring in an area that has seen hundreds killed this year in sectarian clashes.
"It has been confirmed that eight people were killed and eight injured," national police spokesman Yemi Ajayi told AFP. "There was an explosion."
He said the cause had not been established. The state information commission said there were reports of several explosions and some 20 people killed, but police cast doubt on the information.
