No one was confirmed dead but hospital staff said they had treated some wounded, including one soldier.
"The bomb was planted near a church where our boys were on guard but fortunately no casualties were recorded," the operations officer for a joint military task force said.
He did not confirm whether the blast was carried out by Boko Haram, a sect whose name means "Western education is forbidden" and which has been behind almost daily shootings or attacks with homemade explosives in recent months.
