In a bomb in Taraba state, north-east Nigeria, at least five persons were killed and 19 others were critically injured.
The explosion happened at a bar in Iware, a major business center near the state capital, Jalingo, on Tuesday evening.
One suspected assailant has died, according to police spokesman Abdullahi Usman, but it was unclear whether he was a suicide bomber.
According to witnesses, the device was hidden in a bag in the bar.
Aware is a significant market town where animals and food are bought and sold by traders from all over the country.
Three suicide bombers on motorcycles assaulted a local police chief's motorcade in 2012. The blast killed at least 11 people, including the assailants, and was blamed on the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram.
Taraba state shares a border with Adamawa state in the north and Cameroon to the east. It had hitherto been immune to the insurgency that has ravaged Nigeria's northeast.
