The late David Parradang

Confusion surrounding the death of David Parradang, the former Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, has been clarified.

Initial reports suggested he was abducted and killed by suspected kidnappers in Abuja after withdrawing money from a bank. 

However, the Federal Capital Territory Police Command in a press statement, has refuted these claims, stating that Parradang was found dead in a hotel room after hosting a female guest.

The police disclose that on March 3, 2025, Parradang checked into the Joy House Hotel, where he received a female visitor. The guest left around 4 PM, and Parradang was found deceased the next morning by a concerned friend, a military officer. 

The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death and are seeking to arrest the female visitor

The Police statement issued by Police Public Relations Officer FCT Command, Superintendent Josephine Adeh, reads:

“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 of Twenty-two thousand naira (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 04:00PM of the same day.

Mr. Parradang did not exit his room after the lady left. Around 04:00 AM 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.”

“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.”
