A suicide blast that targeted a church in northeastern Nigeria has killed at least 14 people and left 40 injured, officials said.

Speeding up his vehicle, the attacker approached a checkpoint near the church in Bauchi State, which has previously been hit by Islamist group Boko Haram and where tension between Muslims and Christians has led to violence in the past.
