Jos, Nigeria (CNN) -- A deadly explosion destroyed a church in Jos, Nigeria, Sunday. There appeared to be a large number of casualties, including children.
An angry crowd was gathering at Christ Chosen Church of God, now reduced to rubble.
It was not immediately clear what caused the blast.
A March car bomb attack outside a Catholic church in Jos killed six people, according to officials.
In December, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in several northern states following a series of Christmas Day attacks on churches.
