The bomber blew herself up among Saturday night revellers in the popular bar, injuring at least 79 others, state TV reported. An earlier toll put the number of dead at 14.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the north of the country has been repeatedly targeted by Nigeria-based Boko Haram extremists.
" A girl of around 12 blew herself up between two takeaway sales points. Security forces have sealed off the area and have made several arrests," the state TV channel said.
The atrocity came a day after Boko Haram were also blamed for a wave of a attacks on villages across the border in northeastern Nigeria that left at least 25 dead and forced hundreds more to flee their burning homes.
Cameroon's army has joined the regional military offensive against the extremists after suffering repeated deadly raids into its territory. (WDY)
