Biography

Born on 24 May 1999 in Gunia and belonging to Nduga people, Bugiangge joined the Indonesian Army in an unknown year and was enlisted in the 756th Infantry Battalion  [ id ]. Within the battalion, he was assigned to Company C, which is based in Senggi, Keerom Regency, with a rank of private second class. He was deserted from military duty, bringing SS1-V1 without any ammunition on 17 December 2021. Later on, Bugiangge reportedly joined the Egianus Kogoya's West Papua National Liberation Army group. [1] [2] As a result, the Indonesian Army fired Bugiangge from the military service and he became a fugitive. [3]

Bugiangge led a group of OPM militia. His group was responsible for Nogolait shooting and the 2023 gold panners massacre in Yahukimo. [3] [4] In 2023, Bugiangge's group separated from the Kogoya command. [5]
