ABUJA (Reuters) - At least 11 people were killed in an explosion at a crowded market in Nigeria's capital Abuja late Friday, medical and security sources said.

The blast occurred at Mami market, within the grounds of the Sani Abacha barracks, a busy area where people congregate to socialize.

"The scene has been cordoned off by security agents and an investigation has commenced," police spokesman Moshood Jimoh told Reuters.

A worker at the military medical center in the barracks said at least 11 people had been killed and many more casualties were being taken to other hospitals in Abuja.
