Acting on directives from the Zamfara State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Balarabe Maikaba, joint teams of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) experts from the Police and Military combed the highway to ensure no additional explosives were planted. The operation was conducted under the joint security framework of Operation Fansa-Yamma, with armed personnel providing full coverage.

She warned that offenders would be arrested and sanctioned under the National Road Traffic Regulations.
