Plateau State activist Walshak Samuel John has accused soldiers of Operation Enduring Peace, OPEP, of killing Mangu youth leader Fwangshak Dawuk, who was shot and dumped at Barkin Ladi general hospital. Dawuk, the Secretary of the Mwaghavul Youth Movement in Mangu Halle District, was allegedly targeted while on a vigilante duty.
Eyewitnesses claim he was shot at point-blank range by soldiers protecting Fulani terrorists, who were allegedly not responding to distress calls. The soldiers reportedly removed Dawuk's body from the scene and transported it to the hospital, leading to questions about the sequence of events and the military's involvement. Conflict journalist Masara Kim Usman confirmed the incident, stating that the soldiers should have responded to the situation rather than opening fire and killing Dawuk.
However, Captain Polycarp Oteh, the Media Information Officer of OPEP, denied any knowledge of the incident, stating that he was currently on a course in Kaduna.
