The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has yet to officially confirm the incident. Efforts by DAILY MENTOR to reach the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, for comments were unsuccessful at the time of reporting.
Parradang, who served as Comptroller-General of the NIS, dedicated over 30 years to public service, working in various states including Kano, Lagos, Kwara, Enugu, and the Federal Capital Territory. His career was marked by significant contributions to the Nigerian Immigration Service, where he played a key role in shaping policies and improving service delivery.
The tragic incident has sent shockwaves across the country, highlighting the growing insecurity in the nation’s capital and other parts of Nigeria. Kidnapping for ransom has become a rampant crime, with high-profile individuals and ordinary citizens increasingly falling victim to these criminal activities.
Stakeholders and security experts have called for urgent measures to address the rising wave of kidnappings and ensure the safety of citizens. The killing of a former top government official like Parradang underscores the severity of the security challenges facing the country.
As the nation mourns the loss of a dedicated public servant, there are growing calls for the government to intensify efforts to combat insecurity and bring the perpetrators of such heinous crimes to justice. Further details are expected as investigations into the incident continue.
