About eight people were reportedly killed on Wednesday when an explosive went off along the Gusau-Dansadau road in Maru LGA of Zamfara state.
The incident was said to have occurred at about 8 am when the victims were travelling in a Volkswagen Golf car to Gusau from Maru.
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, reports that suspected bandits planted the explosives.
The attack is the second of its kind within a week as bandits detonated a device planted at Mai Gamme bridge along the same route on Sunday, ahead of a planned attack on residents of the Ungwan Galadima community.
