AN attacker has attempted to slam a car bomb into a church in the northern Nigerian city of Kaduna, killing at least three people, including himself, while wounding others.
"At least three people are confirmed dead," an official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to give out figures.
The toll included the suspected attacker, he said.
Sunday's explosion was reported to have occurred in the Malali area of the city. Kaduna, a major city in Nigeria's north, had been hit earlier by attacks blamed on Islamist extremist group Boko Haram.
In June, Boko Haram claimed responsibility for three suicide attacks on churches in Kaduna state, where the city of Kaduna is located, which led to deadly rioting. Dozens of people were killed in the violence.
Boko Haram's insurgency in northern and central Nigeria has led to more than 2800 deaths since 2009. While Muslims have often been its victims, in recent months it has specifically targeted churches.
President Goodluck Jonathan has said the group is seeking to incite a religious crisis in Africa's most populous nation, roughly divided between a mainly Muslim north and predominately Christian south.
