The FCT Police Command has dismissed reports claiming that former Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Mr David Shikfu Parradang, was kidnapped and killed.
According to the police, he was discovered dead in a chair inside his hotel room in Abuja after receiving a female guest.
Mr Parradang, who checked into the Joy House Hotel at Area 3 Junction, was found lifeless by a concerned friend — a military officer — who, along with hotel staff, went to check on him.
In an official statement titled, “FCT Police Respond to Misreported Death of Retired Comptroller General David Parradang,” SP Josephine Adeh, PPRO, clarified that there was no evidence of kidnapping or assassination.
The statement noted: “On March 3, 2025, at approximately 12:00 PM, Mr. Parradang arrived at Joy House Hotel, Area 3 Junction, driving a black Mercedes Benz. He checked into the hotel, paying ₦22,000 for a one-night stay.
“Shortly after checking in, he requested that a hotel attendant escort a female guest to his room. The lady left the hotel premises around 4:00 PM on the same day.
“Mr. Parradang did not leave his room afterward. Around 4:00 AM on March 4, 2025, a friend, who is a military officer, concerned about his well-being, traced him to the hotel.
“Upon arrival, the hotel receptionist and the officer proceeded to his room, where they found Mr Parradang deceased, seated in a chair.
“The Durumi Police Station was notified, and officers quickly arrived at the scene to secure the area, take photographs, and collect relevant evidence to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
“His body has been transferred to the National Hospital for further examination, while hotel staff are cooperating with police investigations.”
The police further confirmed that efforts are underway to locate and apprehend the female guest who last visited him.
The FCT Police Command urged both the public and media to refrain from spreading unverified information, stating:
“We urge the public and media outlets to refrain from spreading unverified information, including claims of kidnapping, that may incite fear or panic.
“The FCT Police Command is committed to conducting a thorough investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding Mr. Parradang’s death and ensure justice is served.”
They assured that updates would be provided as the investigation progresses.
