According to them, the explosives, which occurred in two separate locations, were planted by bandits within the axis.
The residents of Unguwar Yargaladima in Zamfara State have disputed the explanation by the state police command, which attributed the recent deadly explosion on the Gusau-Dansadau Road to Lakurawa terrorists.
According to them, the explosives, which occurred in two separate locations, were planted by bandits within the axis.
A resident, Mallam Ibrahim Usman attributed the attack to a local bandit kingpin, Dogo Gide.
Usman, who spoke to journalists in Gusau, alleged that the police did not want to tell the world the truth.
He said that Gide and his gang members had been targeting Unguwar Yargaladima in retaliation for the recent killing of a bandit kingpin, Sani Black, by the villagers.
“This attack has nothing to do with Lakurawa terrorists.
“It was planned perfectly by Dogo Gide’s gang. They have been planning to attack the community for a long time but failed because we were prepared.
“This time, they planted explosives on the road after learning that security personnel were on their way,” he disclosed.
According to him, Lakurawa terrorists, who he said were foreigners from Niger and Mali, were distinct from the Fulani bandits operating in Zamfara State.
“These bandits belong to the late Buharin Daji’s group, now led by Dogo Gide. They are locals, unlike the Lakurawa group mentioned by the police,” he stated.
