The Federal Capital Territory Command of the Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the death of ex-Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David Shikfu Parradang.

In a statement on Tuesday, Josephine Adeh, Police Public Relations Officer of FCT Command, said reports of the deceased being kidnapped and killed are untrue.


According to Adeh, Paradang died after receiving a female guest at a hotel he checked into in Abuja.


“In light of the recent reports alleging that retired CG was kidnapped and subsequently killed, we wish to clarify the facts surrounding this incident to ensure accurate information is disseminated to the public.”

“On March 3, 2025, at approximately 12:00 PM, Mr. 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 escort a female guest who had come to visit to his room. This lady left the hotel premises around 04:00PM of the same day.


“Mr. 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 currently cooperating with Police investigations.”

Dr. Olikoye Ransom Kuti, Nigeria's first pediatrician, was not only a trailblazer in the country's healthcare sector but also a passionate advocate for social change. Born into a family of prominent figures, including activist Fumilayo Ransom Kuti and Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, Dr. Kuti’s upbringing set the stage for his future impact. After studying at the University of Ibadan and Trinity College Dublin, his career took a pivotal turn following the death of his father in 1955, which led him to specialize in pediatrics. His commitment to improving child health in Nigeria led him to become the first Nigerian professor of pediatrics, and his work reshaped the nation's healthcare landscape.

In the 1980s, Dr. Kuti rose to national prominence as the Minister of Health during the Babangida regime. He revolutionized Nigeria’s approach to healthcare by implementing comprehensive national health policies, focusing on vaccination, child health, and introducing oral rehydration solutions for children. His efforts to combat widespread misconceptions about HIV/AIDS were groundbreaking, as he publicly addressed the disease in a country where it was widely misunderstood. In 1986, Dr. Kuti made the historic revelation that a 14-year-old Nigerian girl was the first person diagnosed with AIDS in the country, marking a turning point in the fight against the disease.

Despite facing significant political opposition and challenges within a corrupt system, Dr. Kuti’s work continued to inspire. His tenure as Health Minister ended in 1992, but his influence didn’t stop there. He was appointed Deputy Director-General of the World Health Organization and remained a vocal critic of corruption in the health sector. In a famous 2001 WHO conference speech, he revealed that a mere $12 out of every $100 contributed by donors actually reached HIV patients in Africa, shedding light on the disparity between global health funding and local outcomes.

Dr. Kuti’s legacy endures through his impactful work, his efforts to break the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS, and his role in founding the Society for Family Health Nigeria, which focused on child healthcare and family planning. His passing in 2003 was a profound loss, but his contributions continue to influence healthcare policy and social justice. In 2015, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie honored him through her short story Olikoye, which addressed his legacy in public health. His life remains a testament to the power of one individual to challenge systemic barriers and ignite lasting change. #LegacyOfChange #PublicHealthIcon #DrOlikoye #HealthCorruption #GlobalHealth #HealthReform #HIVAware #DrOlikoyeRansomKuti #pioneeringhealthcare
