A security convoy carrying displaced persons back to their home was ambushed by suspected terrorists in Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria on September 25th, 2020. At least 18 people were killed, including four civilians and 10 police officers. The Islamist militant group ‘Islamic State in the West African Province’ (ISWAP) claimed responsibility of the attack, declaring on its Amaq website that 30 police officers and soldiers were killed in the ambush. The ambush happened on a road leading to the strategic fishing town of Baga, only a day after the Nigerian military had claimed to have killed several top commanders of Boko Haram in “massive clearance operations”. readmore
