A bomb explosion has claimed lives and caused injuries in Zamfara State.
The incident occurred along the Gusau-Dansadau road in Maru Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the explosive device, reportedly planted by bandits, detonated on a busy section of the road.
The attack was directed at travellers and residents in the area.
This was made known on Wednesday by Zagazola Makama, a Lake Chad Basin counterterrorism and insurgency expert, in a post on his X handle.
Makama stated that the incident, the second bomb explosion on the route, signals a dangerous shift in the tactics employed by bandits operating in Zamfara.
He stated that the use of explosives introduces a new level of insecurity in the region.
“Traditionally known for their activities such as kidnapping, cattle rustling, and armed attacks, the use of explosives introduces a new level of insecurity in the region,” the security expert noted.
