Four men were killed near a military checkpoint in Dode Village, Manguhalei Ward, Mangu Local Council, Plateau State. Witnesses said they did not know exactly what led to the killing of the four people, although armed soldiers with grim faces appeared at the checkpoint.

Colonel Oya James, Military Media Information Officer for Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), said he would get the details and get back to the Guardian, but did not respond at the time of going to press.

Sources said villagers had just seen the dead when they passed by yesterday, adding that no one had the courage to ask the soldiers when and how they died.

However, an army officer on condition of anonymity said he had heard similar stories, but did not provide details. Meanwhile, the Public Relations Office of the Police Social Affairs Division announced yesterday that 92-year-old former army sergeant Joseph Gwom is missing.

The 90-year-old man was last seen in Filin Atiri, near Dogon Dutse. He lives behind Chuwelnyap Primary School in Nasarawa Kwon, Jos North Local Council. A retired Berom soldier with no trace of his tribe walks on crutches.
