The Police Command in Zamfara says the Lakurawa terrorist group is responsible for the recent explosions that rocked two villages in Dansadau district, Maru Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

The State Police Commissioner, Muhammad Dalijan, made the submission on Wednesday.

According to him, one person died, while three others sustained varying degrees of injuries in the explosion caused by a bomb planted under the bridge by the Lakurawa terrorists.

Naija News understands the explosion occurred around 8 am on Wednesday after a commercial driver conveying passengers to Dansadau town ran into an explosive device suspected to be planted by the terrorists.

The Police chief, however, vowed that the security forces would dislodge all the terrorists.

Speaking in a telephone conversation with Daily Trust, Dalijan said: “Yes, there was an explosion along Dansadau road this morning and it was a bomb planted under a bridge. The motorist stepped on it and and it exploded killing one person and injured three others.

“Preliminary investigations indicated that it was remnant of Lakurawa terrorists that were being pressed by the soldiers to leave Nigeria that planted the explosive. The terrorists are now trying to find their way to Birnin-Gwari forest en-route Zamfara state. They are facing serious pressure from the Nigerian security to leave the country.

“By the grace of God, we will get them and deal with them decisively. All we need from the public is useful information about the movement of these terrorists.”
