According to PremiumTimes, the two explosions occurred on the road between Dansadau and Malamawa and another on Malele Road, all in the Dansadau district
A resident, Nuhu Babangida, was quoted as saying passengers in a Canter Truck going to the Dansadau weekly market on Friday escaped death after the truck, loaded with grains, ignited the bomb.
Babangida said the explosions on Malamawa and Malele roads went off simultaneously but recorded no casualties.
This is the third time an explosive device would be planted along Dansadau Road within a week.
12 people were feared dead Wednesday morning after an explosive blew off a bridge at Yar Tasha village.
The incident, this nespaper gathered, occurred around 8am this morning after a commercial driver conveying passengers to Dansadau town ran on the device suspected to be planted by bandits.
Last Sunday a similar device suspected to be planted by bandits exploded with an 18-seater bus, killing the driver, who was the sole occupant.
News Point Nigeria had earlier reported that the Zamfara state police command had accused the newly identified terror group, Lakurawa, of being responsible for the recent explosions that rocked highways in two villages of the state.
