Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM), under the leadership of its National President, Barr. Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri, has received credible intelligence from an anonymous but reliable source indicating that the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) is allegedly making desperate efforts to procure a questionable psychiatric certificate claiming that the suspect arrested in connection with the April 5, 2026 attack on Pwomol Village in Heipang District of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area is mentally unstable.
According to the intelligence available to the Association, the alleged plan is to present the forged medical report to the Special Task Force (STF) under Operation Enduring Peace as grounds to pressure authorities to release the suspect or face the threat of legal action.
The Berom Youth Moulders-Association wishes to state clearly that the suspect, Yusuf Danladi, is known to be sound, mentally stable, and an active individual from Fass community. Therefore, any sudden claim suggesting that he suffers from a mental health condition should be treated with the utmost suspicion.
Information available to BYM indicates that certain propaganda channels are currently working to manufacture and circulate a psychiatric certificate in a calculated attempt to secure the release of the suspect and shield him from facing justice for his alleged role in the attack that claimed three innocent lives in Pwomol.
BYM views this development as a desperate attempt to obstruct justice and manipulate the investigation process. The Association maintains that any such questionable medical certificate must not only be rejected outright but that those responsible for producing or facilitating such a document should be investigated and treated as accomplices in the attack against the people of Pwomol.
It is both illogical and unacceptable that a suspect who reportedly provided clear and detailed information about the attack in a community where he does not reside is suddenly being described as mentally unstable. The level of information allegedly supplied by the suspect about the incident raises serious doubts about the credibility of any such claim.
The Berom Youth Moulders-Association therefore categorically rejects any attempt to manipulate the investigation or mislead security agencies and the Nigerian public in order to shield the suspect from facing justice.BYM wishes to make it unequivocally clear that the Berom people will not accept any cooked-up report or fabricated narrative intended to derail the course of justice. Any attempt to compromise the investigation will only deepen suspicions that certain interests are determined to frustrate accountability in the ongoing attacks against communities on the Plateau.Furthermore, any interference in the investigation process would send a disturbing signal to the international community that powerful interests may be working to undermine justice and the security of innocent citizens.In line with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, BYM strongly demands that the suspect be immediately handed over to the appropriate security agency responsible for the investigation and prosecution of criminal matters to ensure transparency and accountability.
We call on security agencies and government at all levels to remain vigilant and resist any pressure capable of derailing the investigation. The families of the victims and the entire Berom nation deserve justice, and nothing short of justice will be acceptable.
The Berom Youth Moulders-Association will continue to monitor developments closely and remains committed to the pursuit of justice, accountability, and the protection of our communities from further attacks.
