President of the Dorowa Babuje Youth Council in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, Pam Fom, was on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, reportedly ambushed and shot by suspected Fulani militias a day after he granted an interview condemning an attack on the community by terrorists on Tuesday, where two youths were killed.
Conflict journalist, Masara Kim Usman, who confirmed the attack on Fom in a post on his Facebook page on Thursday morning, said the youth leader was attacked on his way to a neighbouring community by gunmen suspected to be Fulani militias shortly after he had an interview with him where he openly condemned an earlier attack in Dorowa.
“So I interviewed this youth leader on an attack that killed two members of his community near Jos yesterday, and today he was shot by the same Fulani terrorist,” Usman wrote.
In the interview, Fom had narrated how the Fulani terrorists hid among their cattle while grazing and targeted the two youths who were riding on a motorcycle. After killing them, they proceeded to a mining site and opened fire on the miners, injuring many of them.
He went on to call on the government and security agencies to provide adequate protection for the people of the community, or the youths would have no option but to do everything possible to protect their people, including taking up arms to defend their community.
But barely hours after Fom’s interview, he was ambushed by the terrorists who shot and left him for dead.
