Although initial reports said he was killed after banking at a financial institution, the police said that is not the case.
According to Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson of the police in the federal capital territory (FCT), Parradang died at Joy House Hotel, Area 3 Junction, Abuja.
Adeh said:
"On Monday, March 3, 2025, at approximately 12:00 PM, 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 lead a female guest who had come to visit to his room. This lady left the hotel premises around 04:00PM of the same day.
"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 said to be cooperating with police investigations.
