I wanted to ask, whats the position of law should a father shoot his son who have always been in opposition against his dad who is a monarch?

The son should be thankful to God he didn't die. because using mob to attack his father in his palace, he should know his father must shoot him and his gang in self defense. If his father did not shoot to scare them away, he would have been dead by now.

In the entire crowd that was said 2 have stormed the Palace,in that frenzy it was only the son that the father could aimed n shoot at... The Papa na real Snipper, still wondering who hired him

In the event of a major conflict truth is the first casualty.

Lets wait for the father to give his own version of the story whenever he is allowed to do so.
Something tells me that there is a grand plan to set up the monach. The action of the Rivers state Police command after the purported incident speaks volume.

Its attempted murder , if he dies its manslaughter.

In both cases the father commited crime and should be arrested.

But does the law protect one in case of claims of self-defence of the accused? In real truth the son has been in stiff oposition against the dad, the monarch; truth also is that his son made attempts to stop his dad with mob for preparing to host the governor who was on an inter LGA tour in the monarch's LGA who happens to be the comunity of the governor's key oposition in the state who also is the minister of state for education. Now could the law blame the monarch for using his right of self-defence to save his life?

Son being opposition to DAD is not enough evidence for self defence.
But attempting to use mob against his dad, can justify the self defence case if the DAD's life was in danger.

how about the issue of possesion of arm by dad? Since he's a traditional ruler maybe the law gives him some cover to posses such arm for self-defense right?

Its a family affairs

There is another info that the said son came with the guns to his father's house in company of his party members. That The sgooting came frm within his camp. How the monarch was able to picked his son out in the crowd is another question on the lips of pple.So which version should we believe.
The arrest pattern is another issue.
So lets wait till the dust settles down. The truth will surely come out.

if the arm is licensed the law gives him the right to shot n maim anyone who is a threat to his life and property. By issue of the Dad being a monarch he can own a weapon so far its licensed, its totally legal ask an educated police officer and he ll explain the process to you.

Having licensed gun is not a right to shoot anyone.
He will be arrested and interrogated even in if it is self defence.
