The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has made clarifications on how a former Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David Parradang died.

This is as the police dismissed claims that the ex-NIS boss was killed by kidnappers as widely reported by many news platforms.

According to the Abuja police command Parradang was found dead in a hotel room in Abuja, hours after lodging with a female guest.

The command, in a statement by its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, on Tuesday, said the retired CG checked into Joy House Hotel, Area 3 Junction, on March 3, 2025, at around 12noon, driving a black Mercedes Benz.

She said, “In light of the recent reports alleging that retired Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David Shikfu Parradang, was kidnapped and subsequently killed, we wish to clarify the facts surrounding this incident to ensure accurate information is disseminated to the public.

“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 a sum N22,000 for one night’s stay.

“Shortly thereafter, he directed the hotel room attendant to escort a female guest who had come to visit to his room. This lady left the hotel premises around 4pm of the same day.

“Mr. Parradang did not exit his room after the lady left. Around 4am of 04 March 2025, a friend who is a military officer, concerned for his wellbeing, traced him to the hotel. Upon arrival, the hotel receptionist and the officer proceeded to his room, where Mr. Parradang was found deceased, seated in a chair.”

Adeh said the Durumi Police Station was immediately alerted, and officers arrived at the scene to secure the area, take photographs, and collect evidence.

“The Durumi Police Station was notified and officers promptly arrived at the scene, secured the area, took photographs, and collected all relevant evidence to preserve the integrity of the crime scene.

“The body has been transferred to the National Hospital for necessary procedures, and hotel staff are currently cooperating with Police investigations,” she said.

In response to speculations that Parradang was kidnapped and murdered, the Adeh dismissed such claims and urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information.

She said, “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. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to ensure justice is served.”

Parradang, who served in the NIS for over 30 years, held various positions across the country before becoming Comptroller-General.
