A member of the House of Representatives representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, Oyo State, Shina Peller, has granted scholarships to the children of the slayed Iseyin residents who were hit and killed by the stray bullets of the officers of Nigeria Customs Service on Friday during Eid-fitri celebration.

Peller made the announcement during his visitations to the families of the deceased in Iseyin on Sunday, where he also expressed his sadness about the ugly occurrence, consoled the families and prayed that God gives them fortitude to bear their loss.

The first family Peller visited was Tobi’s, who died leaving a wife and three children behind. After consoling the wife and family with encouraging words, Peller then instructed his personal assistant to immediately add the three children to the list of the students on his scholarship scheme.

In the same vein, the federal legislator visited the family of another deceased, Wasiu, at Woru Compound, Koso in Iseyin local government area and added his four children to his scholarship scheme.

Furthermore, the same benevolent act was replicated at Timothy’s family house, who was also a victim of the sad incident.

It would be recalled that immediately after the incident on Friday, Peller had publicly condemned it, describing it as an unfortunate and disheartening occurrence that should never be allowed to reoccur.
