The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed circulating reports suggesting that retired Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, David Parradang, was kidnapped and murdered in Abuja.
In a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, the command clarified that Parradang was found dead in his hotel room under circumstances currently under investigation.
According to the statement, the retired immigration chief checked into a hotel at Area 3 Junction, Abuja, around noon on March 3, 2025, after paying ₦22,000 for a one-night stay. Shortly after, a female visitor arrived at the hotel, whom Parradang directed the hotel staff to escort to his room. The woman reportedly left the premises around 4 p.m.
Authorities disclosed that Parradang remained in his room throughout the night, but around 4 a.m. the next day, a concerned military officer, who was a friend of the deceased, went to the hotel to check on him.
Upon arrival, the officer, accompanied by hotel staff, discovered Parradang unresponsive, seated in a chair. The management immediately alerted the Durumi Police Station, whose personnel arrived promptly to secure the scene and document the findings.
His body has since been transferred to the National Hospital for further examination, while the police continue their investigations.
The FCT Police Command further stated that hotel staff are fully cooperating with the probe and that efforts are underway to locate and question the female visitor.
The command urged the public to disregard unfounded reports and await official findings from the ongoing investigation.
