The Nigerian Police have provided details regarding the death of David Parradang, a retired Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, dispelling rumors that he was killed by kidnappers. According to a statement from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command in Abuja, Parradang was discovered deceased in a hotel room under circumstances that are now under investigation.

The statement, issued by FCT Police Public Relations Officer Josephine Adeh, a Superintendent of Police, revealed that Parradang checked into Joy House Hotel, located at Area 3 Junction in Abuja, at approximately 12 p.m. on March 3, 2025. He arrived in a black Mercedes Benz and paid N22,000 for a one-night stay.

Later that day, Parradang instructed a hotel attendant to escort a female guest to his room. The woman left the hotel premises around 4 p.m., and Parradang remained in his room. Concerned for his safety, a military officer who is a friend of Parradang traced him to the hotel in the early hours of March 4, 2025. Upon arrival, the officer, accompanied by hotel staff, entered Parradang’s room and found him dead, seated in a chair.

The Durumi Police Station was immediately notified, and officers arrived at the scene to secure the area, document the incident with photographs, and gather evidence to maintain the integrity of the investigation. Parradang’s body has since been transferred to the National Hospital for further examination.

The police confirmed that hotel staff are cooperating with the ongoing investigation, and efforts are underway to locate and question the female guest who visited Parradang’s room. Authorities have urged the public and media to avoid spreading unverified information, particularly claims of kidnapping, which could incite unnecessary fear or panic.

The case remains under investigation as authorities work to determine the exact cause of Parradang’s death.
