A suspected car bomb exploded near a church on Sunday morning in Bauchi, Nigeria wounding at least 33 people and  killing over 10 people, officials said.

The blast happened around a car near a church called Living Faith in a neighborhood of Bauchi, the capital of Bauchi state. 

An initial report from the Nigerian Red Cross in Bauchi said at least 33 people had been wounded and taken to local hospitals.

Police and soldiers cordoned off the area, blocking emergency workers from immediately accessing the site, said Mohammed Garba, an official with the Bauchi State Emergency Management Agency. Red Cross officials said they suspected others were killed by the blast, but could not enter the church's compound to collect the corpses.

Garba said officials suspected the blast came from a car bomb. Witnesses also said they thought a bomb had exploded from inside a car near the church.

A spokesman for Nigeria's Federal Emergency Management Agency confirmed the explosion, but gave no details. Police officials could not be immediately reached for comment. 

More details later.
