Adaka Boro died on the 8th of May 1968 during the liberation of Port Harcourt

Port Harcourt was finally Liberated on May 24

Your information is very Wrong


"My cousin Jones, a Regimental Sergeant Major during the Nigerian civil war told me over and over again that Major Boro did not die in the heat of battle with the Biafran forces. He said the area had already been captured and secured by his company and Major Boro was on an inspection tour when they came under fire. My cousin swore by the Ijaw gods that it was an ambush by one of Brigadier Adekunle’s units under the scorpion’s direct command. It was a brief but fierce battle, according to him and confirmed personally to me by another Ijaw field Lieutenant (he too died in combat six months later). The type of gunfire that erupted during that particular firefight was completely different from what the Biafrans were known to use in that sector of the war and which to them confirmed that it was one of the federal troops units that carried out the ambush. My cousin who died two years ago was one of the field officers who fought back the ambushing unit to retrieve the body of Major Boro. He was also one of the men who was assigned to accompany the body out of the war zone under the company of the Ijaw field Lieutenant. It was no secret at that time that Brigadier Adekunle was wary of Major Boro’s popularity and successes in the campaign. Boro’s direct access to Army HQ, plus the fact that Boro was commissioned directly and personally by Gowon made him a target of envy by other non-Ijaw senior officers".

Zik as Arewa citizen by birth gave them his candid advice, advantage and disadvantages of breaking away from Nigeria. I didn't see threat of war and genocide.

And why should we take Alabi Isama, a terrible traitor whose account of the civil war is filled with half-truths, distortions and half-truths serious?

Because Gen Isama was there and he gave the photo evidence and his story matched up with what the 3 Mcdo Soldiers had said

He snapped random picture of a poor innocent Biafran boy to cover up his masters.

So?
He was not in the scene of the crime.
He was a federal agent. Boro death has FG conspiracy all over it.
Boro was fighting under the false impression that he was going to get an Ijaw region with full resource control in place.
His Hausa-Fulani masters had no such plans and knew he was going to nuisance once the war ended. It made sense to take care of business right in the war settings.
Ijaw foot soldiers who were around were convinced Boro died at the hands of federal agents. And it makes sense looking at what became of Wiwa years later.
