Ex-Immigration CG, Parradang, Found Dead In Abuja Hotel

The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the death of retired comptroller general of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David Shikfu Parradang.

Earlier, there were reports that Parradang was kidnapped and subsequently killed around Area 1 in Abuja.

However, in a statement by the Police spokesperson, FCT, SP Josephine Adeh, the police said, “On March 3, 2025, at approximately noon, Mr Parradang arrived at Joy House Hotel, Area 3 Junction, driving a black Mercedes Benz.

“He checked into the hotel, paying 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 his room. This lady left the hotel premises around 04:00 PM of the same day.

The police stated, “Mr Parradang did not exit his room after the lady left. Around 04:00 AM of 4 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.

“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 crime scene’s integrity. The body has been transferred to the National Hospital for necessary procedures, and hotel staff are cooperating with Police investigations.” The police said the effort was to effect the lady’s arrest.
