By Adesina Soyooye 

The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Police Command, has debunked  the story which made the rounds earlier Tuesday that a former Comptroller General of Immigration Services, David Parradang, was abducted in Abuja Monday morning and later killed by his abductors after they robbed him of his money.

Setting the record straight in a tragedy that has been now described both as a shame and a scandal, the FCT Police Command said the former NIS topmost boss, died in a N22,000 per night Hotel in Abuja after he checked in, and lodged  with a female guest.

In a statement on Tuesday, Josephine Adeh the FCT Police Spokesperson revealed that; 

“On March 3, 2025, at approximately 12.00pm, 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 to his room. This Lady left the hotel premises at about 4.00pm  of the same day.

“Mr Parradang did not exit his room after the Lady left. Around 4.00am of 04, March 2025, a friend who is a Military Officer, concerned for his well being, 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.

Said Adeh; the Durumi Police Station was contacted immediately. When the Police arrived, the secured the scene, took photographs and collected evidence.

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

“We urge the public and media outlets to refrain from spreading unconfirmed 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 done.”
