Edo Government Awards Full Scholarships To Late Gen Braimah’s Children, Honours Fallen Hero’s Sacrifice

Children of the late Brig. Gen Oseni Omoh Braimah have been offered scholarships by the Edo State Government.

The late General, Commander of the 29 Task Force Brigade, Operation HADIN KAI, who was killed in a coordinated Boko Haram attack on his base in Benisheikh, Borno State recently, hailed from Warake in Owan East LGA of the state.

The scholarships approval, granted by Governor Monday Okpebholo, will ensure the children’s education will be fully funded from their current levels through to university.

The beneficiaries are Farida Hussain-Braimah, 18, a 100-level Software Engineering student at Nile University, Abuja; Amir Hussain-Braimah, 16, currently in SS3 at Olumawu Senior School, Abuja; and Yasmeen Hussain-Braimah, 12, a JSS2 pupil at Olumawu Junior Secondary School, Abuja.

Governor Okpebholo, while speaking on the gesture, described it as both a moral obligation and a demonstration of responsible governance.

He noted that Brigadier General Braimah’s death represents a profound sacrifice in the service of Nigeria.

“Brigadier General Braimah paid the ultimate price in service to this country. It is only right that we stand by the family he left behind and ensure his children have uninterrupted access to education,” the governor said.

He reaffirmed the state government’s resolve to support the children throughout their academic journey, positioning them for stable and meaningful futures.

The governor had earlier described the late officer as a symbol of discipline, courage, and patriotism.
