Mob Attacks Fire Service Personnel During Environmental Ministry Vehicle Fire

Date: 2025-06-02

Firefighters from the Kwara State Fire Service were attacked while responding to an emergency call on Saturday. The team was deployed to extinguish a fire involving a bus owned by the Ministry of Environment, which erupted at the Adeta Roundabout in Ilorin, the state capital.

Hassan Adekunle, Spokesman for the fire service, stated in a press release: "Upon arriving at the scene, our firefighters were unexpectedly assaulted by an angry crowd."

The incident has sparked concerns over public safety and the challenges faced by emergency responders during critical operations.

"This unprovoked assault disrupted emergency operations and resulted in the windshield of our fire appliance being damaged.

"Fortunately, no firefighter sustained any injuries during the incident."

Director of the Kwara State Fire Service, Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, strongly condemned the act of violence against emergency responders and urged all citizens of the state to remain law-abiding and peaceful.

He said the fire service remains committed to protecting lives and property and appealed to the public for support and cooperation during emergency operations.
