A 25-year-old indigene of Issele-Uku community, Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State, identified simply as Kido, has murdered his father.
The victim, Mr Ikechukwu Onyegai, died after a scuffle with his son who he accused of harvesting crops on his farm without his permission. It was learnt that the deceased confronted his son on his farm on Friday and villagers from Ukpai quarters arrested the suspect and handed him over to the police.
In his confessional video, the suspect said a quarrel ensued after the victim attempted to take his cutlass and struck him with firewood.
He said: “He came to meet me on the farm where I was working, and he wanted to take the cutlass because we were not in good terms. When he raised the cutlass and threatened to cut me, I blocked him with the firewood and then used the firewood to hit him.

“As he was falling, his phone fell from him, I then collected the phone. I didn’t know he would die. It was firewood I used.
“When I was going to the farm, everybody saw me. I was not carrying anything.”
The spokesman of Delta State Police Command, DSP Edafe Bright, confirmed the incident.
