Personal Dossier & Background
Date & Place of BirthNo public data on his date or place of birth, or his age.
Tribe & Regional OriginKogoya clan, Intan Jaya area. No source names his ethnic group explicitly.
Base Headquarters & CampsSoanggama village, Homeyo district, Intan Jaya regency — not Hitadipa district as the initial draft stated.
Estimated StrengthPolice put the group's strength at about 30 people. The figure of 70 in the initial draft has no traceable basis.
Family Background / ParentsFather and mother: no public data.
Educational BackgroundNo public data on his education.
Position / RoleCommander of Kodap VIII, chosen at an extraordinary meeting on 9 August 2022, succeeding the late Ayub Waker.
Latest Legal StatusHe died of illness on 22 October 2025 in Jae village, Wandai district, Intan Jaya. His death was confirmed by the Intan Jaya police chief, police officials in the operating area and a TPNPB-OPM spokesman. He is therefore no longer a fugitive — the initial draft's “wanted” status no longer applies.
Verification noteThe name variant “Undius Kogoya Waker” in the initial draft is withdrawn: Waker is the clan of the previous commander (Ayub Waker), not his own name. Birth data, parents and schooling are genuinely absent from every public source.
