At least 14 people were killed and 24 wounded in a suicide bombing in northeastern Nigeria, local authorities reported.

The bombing is believed to be the work of terror group Boko Haram. 

State Emergency Agency (SEMA) Head Bello Dambatta said a female suicide bomber sneaked into a building on Friday night and blew herself up.

According to volunteers, the wounded were not evacuated until Saturday morning due to safety concerns and lack of phone service.
