ISWAP has reportedly executed three Nigerian Soldiers in Yobe State.
According to a report, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a faction of Boko Haram, has released a video depicting the execution of three Nigerian soldiers in Yobe State.
The incident reportedly occurred on March 15, 2025, in the Kamuya and Azare areas of the state.
In the video, the soldiers are seen kneeling in a field, introducing themselves as members of the Nigerian security forces, before masked insurgents fatally shot them.
Since the death of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its influence, particularly around the Lake Chad region, with numerous Boko Haram fighters defecting to its ranks. The insurgency has resulted in over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions, primarily in Nigeria's Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.
The Nigerian Army has consistently asserted that the insurgency has been largely defeated; however, incidents like this highlight the ongoing challenges in ensuring security and stability in the affected regions.
More also, the nefarious activities of the group have been deliberately underreported.
