Map

A suspected car bomb attack near a church in the northern Nigerian city of Bauchi has killed at least 12 people, witnesses say.

Many are reported to have been injured in the blast. No group has said it carried out the attack.

It comes amid a wave of violence by the radical Islamic sect Boko Haram.

The group, whose name means "no to Western education", has carried out numerous attacks across northern Nigeria, killing hundreds of people.

It has its stronghold in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri and wants to impose Sharia law across Nigeria.
