Suspected members of Islamist militant group Boko Haram have killed 15 people in an attack in the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, a state emergency agency official says.

Bello Dambatta, chairman of the rapid response team for the SEMA agency, said 68 people were wounded in the attack late on Sunday.

It is the most significant attack on the city since the government said last week it was in talks with the insurgents.
