An explosion occurred in a brothel in the northeastern Nigerian city of Bauchi killed 10 people on friday, police said , while 14 others were wounded. The statement sent by text message said the cause of the blast was unknown. Islamist sect Boko Haram has targeted several cities across north and central Nigeria in the past few months. Bauchi state police spokesman Haruna Mohammed said 14 people were rushed to hospital after the explosion in the People's Hotel brothel, at the Bayangari area of Bauchi metropolis. "The entire building has been cordoned off and the scene secured. No arrest has been made but an investigation has commenced to ascertain the cause," he said. Bauchi state, like neighbouring Jos, straddles Nigeria's volatile "Middle Belt", where its largely Christian south and Muslim north meet.
