The Delta State Police Command has apprehended a 23-year-old man named Success for allegedly killing his father with a cutlass in Amukpe community, Sapele Local Government Area, Delta State.
The tragic incident reportedly occurred after a heated argument erupted when Success requested ₦5,000 from his father, who refused. Witnesses described the suspect as a known drug addict prone to erratic behavior.
“A lot of us in the area know him as someone who misbehaves after using drugs,” a neighbor said anonymously.
The argument escalated, resulting in Success attacking his father with a cutlass. The severely injured victim was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
