Kinsmen call on IGP, DSS to fish out killers of ex-immigration boss

Worried by the circumstances surrounding the death of the former Comptroller General of Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) David Shikfu Paradang, his kinsmen under the aegis of Ngas Development Association (NDA), on Monday, called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and the DSS to fish out the alleged killers of their son.

Recall the police in a statement declared that the former Comptroller General was found dead in a hotel in Abuja on Monday, while another account has it that he was kidnapped and killed shortly after withdrawing money from a bank in Abuja.

Amidst conflicting information surrounding his death, the expanded executive of the Development Association (NDA), which includes the Ngas Elders Forum, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Andrew Amos Gogwim, said the death needs a thorough investigation.

“The Ngas body is angered by the way the ex-immigration boss was said to have been killed in the heart of Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.”.

It wondered how Nigerians will be able to sleep well and carry on with their legitimate way of life if people like the ex-CGI can be easily killed in the Seat of Power.

The NDA frowned at the manner the news was announced and the contradictory news surrounding the death of the ex-immigration boss but noted that it has confidence in the ability of the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to unravel the mystery.

It further called on the security agencies to employ their professional experience and expertise to bring the perpetrators to justice; and expeditiously too.

The group also demanded that all Ngas sons and daughters should desist from making any posts and comments on the social media about this issue since the police and other security agencies are still carrying out investigations on the matter.
