Suspected Bomb Blast Kills Several Travelers On Zamfara Road

Several travelers have reportedly lost their lives following a suspected bomb explosion along the Yar’Tasha–Dansadau road in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

Zamfara State Police Public Relations Officer, Yazid Abubakar, confirmed the incident to Daily Post, saying it occurred on Saturday afternoon, but added that details are still limited.

“I can confirm that there was a blast in that area, but the incident just happened. I can’t provide details yet. I will update you later,” Abubakar said during a telephone interview.

Local residents believe the explosion may have been caused by bandits, who have been carrying out attacks across the state. A video currently circulating on social media shows travelers panicking and fleeing the scene.
