The Edo State Police Command has confirmed the k+lling of an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Julius Bello, allegedly by his son in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area of the state.
Bello, popularly known as De Lord Ogata, was the APC Ward Three Chairman in Fugar. He was reportedly att@cked on Sunday, November 8, shortly after his son, identified as Irobudo, returned from Lagos.
According to family sources, Irobudo allegedly struck his father on the head with a sledgehammer, inflicting inj¥ries that led to his de@th.
The suspect was reportedly influenced by claims from prophets that his father was responsible for his prolonged poverty and inability to make progress in life. The claims were said to have created resentment towards Bello before the fatal incident.
