A blast in the Abuja office of Thisday newspaper killed at least two people, a rescue source told the AFP news agency.

An AFP correspondent heard the blast and saw ambulances heading towards a district where a bus station and newspaper office are located.
A police spokesman said "we heard something like that happened, but we don't have the details yet."
A spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency said "it's true there was an explosion at Jabi (district)."

In Kaduna, the offices of The Sun newspaper and Thisday were also hit by unknown bombers.
Three people reportedly died in The Sun office located in the city centre.
