Nigeria Vigilantes Kill Islamic Militants
2014-05-15
[Ynet] Villagers in an area of Nigeria where Boko Haram operates have killed and detained scores of the extremist Islamic militants who were suspected of planning a fresh attack, the residents and a security official said.

Locals in Nigeria's northern states have been forming vigilante groups in various areas to resist the militant group which hold more than 270 schoolgirls captive.
That's no resistance, that's what in the olden days was called a posse. Happy hunting, guys!
