Just in: Ex-NIS Controller General died in hotel after woman’s visit, not killed by kidnappers – FCT Police clarify

According to reports that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command claimed David Shikfu Parradang, a retired Nigerian immigration service Comptroller General, was kidnapped and murdered in the country’s capital, the reports have been disproven.

Contrary to initial claims, the police have confirmed that the ex-NIS chief passed away in a hotel.

SP Josephine Adeh, a spokesperson for the FCT command, stated in a statement to Persecondnews on Tuesday that Parradang arrived at Area 3 Junction in Abuja on March 3, 2025, at 12:00 PM in a black Mercedes Benz.

According to Adeh, the deceased checked in and paid N22, 000 for a one-night stay.

He later instructed the hotel room attendant to escort a female guest who had come to his room.

The hotel’s grounds were evacuated around 4:00 p.m. the same day. After the woman left, Mr. Parradang did not leave his room.

A friend of a military officer who was concerned for his well-being found him at 4:00 in the morning of March 4, 2025. The hotel receptionist and the officer arrived at his room, where he was discovered dead and seated in a chair.

Officers immediately arrived at the scene, secured the area, took photos, and collected all necessary evidence to preserve the integrity of the crime scene.

The hotel staff is currently cooperating with police inquiries, and the body has been moved to the National Hospital for necessary procedures.

She claimed that making an arrest for the woman is in high gear.

We urge the public and the media to refrain from spreading false information, including those that might cause fear or panic, including claims of kidnapping.

“The FCT Police Command is dedicated to carrying out a thorough investigation to find out the circumstances surrounding his death.”
