A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State, Julius Bello, has allegedly been killed by his son, identified as Irobudo, following a prophecy that reportedly linked him to the suspect’s misfortunes.

Bello, popularly known as De Lord Ogata, was allegedly attacked by his son with a sledgehammer, which he used to strike him on the head.

The tragic incident reportedly occurred on Sunday, shortly after Irobudo returned from Lagos at the weekend.

Witnesses said the suspect allegedly attacked his father after a prophet told him that Bello was responsible for his poor state in life.

The deceased was the APC Ward Three Chairman in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area.

The Edo State Police Command confirmed the killing, with its spokesperson, Eno Ikoedem, saying the command had commenced an investigation. The suspect was still at large as of the time of filing this report.
