General Godwin Alabi Isama, who was second-in-command of the 3 Marine Commando Division during the Civil War, has stated that his division fed Biafrans who had no food left to eat during the war
In an interview with Edmund Obilo, General Isama said there was one instance when two hungry Biafran soldiers came to his division in search for food. He said the 3 Marine Commando did not kill them, but instead fed them. He said the two soldiers ate a bucket of eba and immediately fell asleep.
Isama also said he instructed his men to allow them to rest and later, the two soldiers became his orderlies.
In Isama’s words: “Biafrans could not even have cooking pots anymore. That is why we were able to feed them, and when they found food in 3 Marine Commando they were happy. We didn’t kill Biafrans. In 3 Marine Commando, the Biafrans had been defeated mentally before they were defeated physically. They came to eat, they were hungry and there is a picture in the book, two or them finished a bucket and they slept off”
