Boko Haram 'kills 24 Nigerian vigilantes in ambush'
Another week, another mass murder:
Suspected Boko Haram fighters have killed at least 24 members of a vigilante group in north-eastern Nigeria, security officials say.
They say another 34 people are missing after the attack near the town of Monguno in Borno state.
The officials said militants wearing army uniforms ambushed more than 100 vigilantes on Friday.
Attacks have increased recently despite a massive military deployment to areas worst affected by Islamist militants.
