Gunmen struck in Abuja on Tuesday, shooting and killing David Shikfu Parradang, a former head of the Nigerian Immigration Service. Reports say he’d just left a bank in Area 3 after withdrawing cash when the attackers followed him. They caught up with him in Area 1 and took his life. A security expert, Zagazola Makama, broke the news early, and one of Parradang’s old aides confirmed it, saying, “Yes, it’s true. We’re at his house now,” while speaking to reporters .
The killing has left people shocked. Parradang, who led the Immigration Service for years, was well-known and respected. The gunmen didn’t just stop at robbing him they made sure he didn’t survive. The Immigration Service hasn’t said anything yet, and police are still piecing things together. It’s a bold crime in the heart of the capital, and folks are asking how safe Abuja really is these days.
This isn’t just a loss for his family, it’s a wake-up call for Nigerians. With crime like this hitting even big names, tension’s rising. The aide’s voice was heavy with grief, and you can bet many are feeling the same. Will the police catch these killers?
