AFP quoted the Kanam Development Association (KADA) as saying in a statement that gunmen ambushed Nigerian soldiers on routine patrol, killing 12 security personnel and eight others.
The attackers also stormed a nearby village and looted property.
The association said the violence has worsened the suffering of already vulnerable rural communities, noting that villages in the region have faced frequent attacks and kidnappings in recent years.
On Feb. 26, Nigerian authorities said at least 25 people, including three soldiers, were killed in two separate attacks by gunmen targeting the towns of Madagali and Hong in Adamawa State in northeastern Nigeria.
