According to reports, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a Boko Haram faction associated with the Islamic State, released a video showing the execution of three Nigerian soldiers.
According to reports, a segment of the video clip obtained by the media platform showed the moment the Nigerian soldiers were shot by the insurgents using firearms.
It was learned that the horrific incident happened in Yobe State, in the northern region of Nigeria, on March 15, 2025.
It has been reported that the troops were taken in the state’s Azare and Kamuya regions.
The three people were seen kneeling in a field in the aforementioned video, posing as Nigerian security forces members, before being shot at by masked attackers dressed in military garb.

Since JAS leader Abubakar Shekau’s passing, ISWAP has reportedly been stepping up its presence in the Lake Chad region.
The defection of several Shekau-aligned Boko Haram fighters has greatly expanded the group’s numbers.
The insurgency has been largely contained, according to the Nigerian Army, which has continuously denied allegations of losses.
The terrorist organization has been responsible for nearly 100,000 fatalities and has displaced millions, mainly in the states of Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe.
