"They have recovered their freedom. The three aid workers were rescued last Friday. They are two men and a woman," the military source, who asked not to be identified, told the Spanish agency EFE.
The same source said that the three members of the NGO Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) were taken to military installations in the city of Maiduguri, in northeastern Nigeria.
"They are in good health and we are in contact with their employer to hand them over. I don't know the details of the rescue," added the Nigerian army source.
Armed men kidnapped the three PUI members in the Cameroonian city of Kossa, which belongs to the Far North region, military and humanitarian sources in Cameroon told EFE.
Hundreds of civilians have died since 2014 in the Far North region in attacks by the Nigerian 'jihadist' group Boko Haram, which operates in the Lake Chad region, including territories in Niger, Chad and northern Cameroon.
The group aims to impose an Islamic state in Nigeria, a predominantly Muslim country in the north and a Christian majority in the south.
