Two bombs went off in the outskirts of the Nigerian capital Abuja late on Friday, an official said.
There was an unknown number of casualties, a spokesman for the national emergency agency said. He had no more details on the blasts in Kuje and Nyanya.
Spokesman Manzo Ezekiel said that the bomb in Kuje went off near a police station while the one in Nyanya detonated in a crowded area not far from the site of two blasts in April and May last year that killed at least 90 people.
Before then, there had not been an attack on the capital in two years.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
It would be recalled that a series of explosions rocked the city of Maiduguri, Borno state in northeast Nigeria on Thursday.
The acting director, army public relations, Colonel Sani Usman confirmed the multiple explosions at Sajeri, Maiduguri and he stated that at least 14 persons were killed and 39 injured.
