Civil Defense Corps spokesman Eman Ekeh said there were casualties, but he had no idea of how many. Witnesses said a car laden with explosives appeared to blow up near the checkpoint where traffic had built up as soldiers and police search vehicles.The checkpoint was set up after the bombing earlier this month. The Boko Haram Islamic extremist network claimed the April 14 bombing at rush hour at a busy bus station in a working class suburb. It killed at least 75 Muslims and Christians, and wounded 141.
