Type: article
Abstract: The study examined the plights of men and women of Usakedet area of Ndian Division, Southwest Cameroun during the Nigerian Civil War. The atrocious activities and disrespect to trans-border sovereignty of the indigenes and fishermen of Usakedet communities unleashed by Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro of the 3 rd Marine Commando of the Nigerian Army has not received mention in various scholarly writings. The study employs historical methods which explores both primary and secondary sources of information gathering. It concludes that the Nigerian-centric writings on the Nigerian Civil War have done little or nothing, in pushing the sufferings, rape and killings that rendered a large population of Usakedet men and women who knew nothing about the war to the academic arena or the public space. Also, the Ahmadu Ahidjo led-Cameroonian government and its successor, who gave full support to Nigeria against Biafra took no action to redress and appease the innocent Usakedet people who went through hell in the hands of Late Major Isaac Adaka Boro in 1968.
