The Edo State Government has approved full educational scholarships for the three children of the late Brigadier General Oseni Omoh Braimah, an indigene of the state who died in active service.
The late general, who commanded the 29 Task Force Brigade of Operation HADIN KAI, was killed in a coordinated Boko Haram attack on his base in Benisheikh, Borno State. He hailed from Warake in Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State.
Announcing the scholarship in a statement, Governor Monday Okpebholo said Braimah’s death represents a profound sacrifice in service to the nation.

“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.
Okpebholo reiterated the state government’s commitment to supporting the children throughout their academic journey.
According to him, the initiative aligns with the education pillar of his administration’s SHINE Agenda, which emphasises human capital development, social welfare, and inclusive governance.
“No child of an Edo hero should be denied the opportunity to succeed. This is about responsibility, honour, and a deliberate investment in the future,” he said.
He urged other state governments and private sector stakeholders to emulate the initiative by providing structured support for families of military personnel who die in the line of duty.
The beneficiaries are Farida Hussain-Braimah, 18, a 100-level Software Engineering student at Nile University, Abuja; Amir Hussain-Braimah, 16, an SS3 student at Olumawu Senior School, Abuja; and Yasmeen Hussain-Braimah, 12, a JSS2 pupil at Olumawu Junior Secondary School, Abuja.
