Edo Man Kills APC Chieftain Father Over Prophecy

A man identified as Irobudo has allegedly beaten his father, Julius Bello, to death with a sledgehammer in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State.

Bello, popularly known as De Lord Ogata, was the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ward Three Chairman in the community.

Reports indicated that the suspect attacked his father on Sunday after returning from Lagos during the weekend.

The incident was reportedly linked to a prophecy allegedly telling Irobudo that his father was responsible for his difficult circumstances.

The suspect allegedly struck Bello on the head with a sledgehammer, resulting in his death and leaving the community in shock.
