Da. Victor Dung Pam DIG Rtd (4 March 1936 – 7 March 2009) was a Nigerian police officer, elder statesman and monarch who was the 4th Gbong Gwom Jos reigning from his accession on 1 April 2004 (two years after the demise of his predecessor Fom Bot) to his death on 7 March 2009. He was coronated on 17 April 2004 and presented with his official staff of office by His Excellency, Governor Joshua Dariye.[4] He had previously attained the rank of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in the Nigeria Police Force before his retirement.[3] A highly patriotic father of his people, he is famously remembered as having taken drastic measures to curb the consumption of the illicit gin 'goskolo' amongst Berom youths.[1] His almost 5-year brief reign was remarkable and saw him encourage all Berom families especially in the rural areas to send their children to school.
