Bomb Hits Nigerian Town, Dozens Feared Dead

Authorities say an explosion in the northeastern Nigerian town of Mubi left at least 14 people dead Sunday, but locals say that number could grow to more than 40.

David Dauda, who witnessed the blast, said he saw at least 30 bodies following the explosion.

"The blast occurred shortly after people are dispersing from a football playing ground. People gathered there to watch a football competition and just few minutes after soldiers patrol vehicle left the place then we heard a blast," Dauda said.

The blast rocked a Mubi bar as people gathered there to watch a soccer match.

No one is yet claiming responsibility for the attacks, but the Islamic group Boko Haram is suspected to be behind the violence.

Mubi has been under a state of emergency for more than a year as a result of the terror group's deadly uprising across Nigeria.
