(UPDATE) BREAKING NEWS: Bomb Blast Rocks Bauchi

Another Black Sunday! :(
Reports reaching me via a TUB reader in Bauchi says a fresh round of explosion has rocked Bauchi, the Bauchi State capital.The source said a loud explosion was heard around the St. John Catholic Cathedral in the vicinity of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University around the Bayan Gari area of the city.
Many are feared dead, and others injured but I can't confirm the casualty figure at this time.
The Bauchi Police Command’s spokesperson, Mohammed Hassan, confirmed he had also received report of the explosion but that he was on his way to the scene to confirm casualty and extent of damage.

More details coming up.

UPDATE:

The suicide car bomber blew himself up at the Catholic church in a remote part of northern Nigeria, killing one person and wounding at least 46 others
The blast appeared to hit a parking lot alongside St. John's Catholic Church in the city of Bauchi, which has seen a number of bombings and shootings blamed on the Islamic sect known as Boko Haram. 

Police and military surrounded the church and did not allow journalists inside the cordon. Later at a nearby hospital, Bauchi deputy police commissioner T. Stevens told journalists that the bomber had been stopped at the church's gate, where he detonated the explosives packed inside his car.
Doctors cautioned more could die from their injuries.
"The situation has been brought under control,'' Stevens said. "We have our men minding all areas.''

Stevens said no group or individual had claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram. The sect, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege'' in the Hausa language of Nigeria's north, has been waging an increasingly bloody fight against nation's weak central government.
