Another explosion has shaken the city of Jos in central Nigeria, just a few days after a twin car bomb attack killed more than 200 people in the same city.
Police said the blast happened near an open-air TV viewing centre where people were watching the Champions League football final.
It is not clear if there are casualties. Unconfirmed reports said a suicide bomber had died in an apparently botched attack.
Tuesday's bomb attack was blamed on Boko Haram Islamist militants although they have not publicly claimed so.
A spokesman for Plateau state governor Jonah Jang said the blast happened on Bauchi Road at about 21:30 local time (Saturday night).
