Again, bombs planted by suspected terrorists went off in Zamfara State on Friday at separate locations in the Dansadau District of Maru Local Government Area of the state. 

The separate bombs reportedly exploded on the road between Dansadau and Malamawa and another on Malele Road, all in the Dansadau district.

The explosions on Malamawa and Malele roads went off simultaneously but recorded no casualties.

This comes few days after commuters and many people were injured following bomb explosions.

In the latest incident, Premium Times reported that a resident, identified as Nuhu Babangida, said passengers in a Canter Truck going to the Dansadau weekly market on Friday escaped death after the truck, loaded with grains, ignited the bomb.

This is the third time an explosive device would be planted along Dansadau Road within a week.

Earlier on Wednesday, 12 persons were feared dead after an explosive blew off a bridge at Yar Tasha village.

Also on Sunday, another device suspected to be planted by bandits exploded with an 18-seater bus, killing the driver, who was the sole occupant.

The state Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Shehu Dalijan, had told the press that the newly formed terrorists group, Lakurawa was behind the recent explosions that rocked two villages in Dansadau district, Maru Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
