A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State, Julius Bello, has been killed by his own son over an alleged prophecy.
It was learnt that the prophecy reportedly blamed the deceased for the suspect’s misfortunes.
Reports say the son hit his father on the head with a sledgehammer in an
incident that occurred on Sunday shortly after the suspect returned from Lagos.
Residents said a prophet told the son that his father was responsible for his poor state in life.
Confirming the incident, Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Eno Ikoedem, said investigation had begun.
But as of the time of filing this report, the suspect was still at large.
