A suspected bomb explosion has rocked the Yar’Tasha-Dansadau road in Zamfara State, leaving many travelers feared dead.
The incident occurred on Saturday, with an unspecified number of commuters caught in the blast.
Zamfara police command spokesman, Yazid Abubakar, confirmed the incident, stating that details are still emerging.
“I can confirm that there was a blast in that area but the incident just happened. I can’t tell you details yet. I will update you later,” Abubakar was quoted as saying.
Videos circulating on social media show travelers fleeing the scene in panic, while users on X are calling for swift action from security agencies to prevent further harm and bring perpetrators to justice.
Some speculate the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by bandits.
Meanwhile, residents of Offa, Kwara State, were thrown into panic after loud explosions destroyed residential buildings, but it’s unclear if this was related to recent US airstrikes targeting ISIS positions in Nigeria.
