Over 70 Boko Haram members have been killed and over seven captured by members of vigilante group in Madagali, Adamwa on Friday, May 16, 2014.
The terrorists were ambushed as they went in search for food before heading out for a major attack in the area, which is usually carried out at night.
The vigilante group acted after they were tipped off by a local food vendor that the Islamist extremists were coming to get food.
As soon as the insurgents, who were more than 100, showed up in the village to pick up their food, the vigilantes attacked them, shooting and killing many of them.
Earlier this week, a vigilante group in Kalabalge, Borno state ambushed and killed scores of Boko Haram members.
