ABUJA\u00a0 \u2013 At least one person has been killed in an explosion outside police headquarters in Nigeria\u2019s capital Thursday, an emergency agency said.<\/p>\n

Yushau Shuaib, spokesman for Nigeria\u2019s National Emergency Management Agency told AP at least one person has died, but had no further details.<\/p>\n

The cause of the blast was not immediately clear. Thick black smoke could be seen from far away at the time of the blast, and fire services have since put out the fire. Army, police and emergency workers were also at the blast site.<\/p>\n
