The soldiers were reportedly captured in the Kamuya and Azare regions of the state.
The said footage reportedly displayed the three individuals kneeling in a field, identifying themselves as members of the Nigerian security forces before masked assailants in military attire opened fire on them.
Following the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been strengthening its presence in areas surrounding the Lake Chad region.
The group’s ranks have increased significantly due to the defection of numerous Boko Haram fighters loyal to Shekau.
The Nigerian Army has consistently asserted that the insurgency has been largely subdued and often minimizes reports of casualties.
The terrorist organisation has been responsible for over 100,000 fatalities and has displaced millions, particularly in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.
