An explosion has rocked northeastern Nigeria, taking place near a mosque in the city of Maiduguri.
Details of casualties from the blast on Friday were not immediately available, although AFP news agency has reported that at least four people were killed.
"There was a loud blast near the mosque just after the Friday prayers as people were trooping out of the mosque," one resident told the AFP.
"Everybody scampered to safety, leading to a stampede."
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.
The explosion follows a series of recent attacks by the anti-government group Boko Haram, including a Christmas Day church bombing that killed at least 35 people.
