A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State, Julius Bello, has been allegedly slain by his son, Irobudo.
The son reportedly carried out the fatal attack following a prophecy that reportedly blamed his father for his misfortunes.
Bello, popularly known as DeDe Lord Ogata, was reportedly attacked with a sledgehammer by his son, who struck him on the head.
The incident occurred on Sunday, shortly after the suspect reportedly returned from Lagos.

The deceased was the APC Ward Three Chairman in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area.
The Edo State Police Command confirmed the incident, with its spokesperson, Eno Ikoedem, saying the command had commenced an investigation.
