LAGOS, Nigeria — Witnesses say at least 20 people are dead and many others are missing after suspected extremists ambushed a military and civilian convoy in Nigeria’s northeast. The witnesses say the military was relocating civilians to a displacement camp in Damboa on Saturday morning when the ambush occurred. A driver told The Associated Press he saw about 20 bodies and many burned-out vehicles. Another survivor said the convoy contained hundreds of civilians and a few dozen soldiers but only a few people reached Damboa. Copyright 2019 The Associated Press.
