There has been a bomb attack at the UN building in the Nigerian capital Abuja, the United Nations says.
The BBC's Bashir Sa'ad Abdullahi, who at the site of the explosion, says the ground floor of the building has been badly damaged.
The emergency services are removing bodies from the building while a number of wounded are being rushed to hospital, our correspondent says.
Islamist militants have carried out recent attacks on the city.
A car bombing at police headquarters in June was blamed on Islamist sect Boko Haram, a group which wants the establishment of sharia law in Nigeria.
There has been no claim of responsibility for Friday's attack, but government officials have blamed "terrorists" for the bombing, our correspondent says.
