A suspected bomb explosion along the Yar’Tasha–Dansadau road in Maru LGA, Zamfara State, has reportedly killed an unconfirmed number of travelers. The blast occurred on Saturday, triggering panic among commuters using the Yar’Tasha–Dansadau route.
Police spokesman Yazid Abubakar told Daily Post by phone: “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.”
PUNCH Online could not reach Abubakar for direct confirmation, as his phone was switched off at the time of filing. The explosion’s cause and casualty figures remain officially unverified.
Videos circulating online show travelers fleeing the scene in panic. Two X users also reacted. One wrote, “Another tragic attack on innocent travelers in Zamfara. Families are grieving, lives are lost, and property destroyed…”
