The children of the police officers,who murdered by ENDSARS protesters in Ibadan, have appealed to Governor Seyi Makinde to make good of his promises to them, as regards their education pursuit.
Five police officers nam James Akanmu, Rotimi Oladele, Adegoke Ajibola, Alidu Yusuf Wada, Mr. Peter Agunbiade, were murdered during the ENDSARS protest between October 20th and 22nd of 2020.
Speaking on behalf of the children of the victims, a 12-year-old Kehinde Agunbiade said their mothers had withdrawn them from school because they could not afford to pay their school fees.
“I am on my kneel as I speak. Governor Seyi Makinde should consider our future as very important. We don’t need cash but we need education. He should give us scholarship.
“Since the gruesome murdered of our fathers, it has been very hard for our mothers to feed us let alone sending us to school. My father was running his masters when he met his untimely death. He told us that he was going to give us education to masters level before we all get married but he could not do it because of his death”, Kehinde said.
Speaking on behalf of their mothers, wife of Rotimi Oladele, Feranmi Oladele asked the state government to assist their children to have a proper education.
“My husband was about to equip my shop before he died. I don’t have money and I don’t know how to care for my children. I need government to help us support our children. Their education is very important. We need help,” he said.
