public servants<\/a> under the guise of protesting lateness during emergencies.<\/p>\nThe News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr Aluko spoke against the backdrop of last weekend\u2019s attack on officers of the State and Federal Fire Services and their equipment in Moferere area of Ado Ekiti, while attending to a fire incident.<\/p>\n
Mr Aluko, who was in company of the Special Adviser, Governor\u2019s Office and Overseer of the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Foluso Daramola, condemned the unruly behaviours of residents of the area against the fire officers.<\/p>\n
According to him, those arrested in connection with the act would be prosecuted.<\/p>\n
Mr Aluko said the officials were recruited to save lives and property in times of emergency, adding that \u201ccontinued threats to their lives, discourage them from putting in their best as well as shunning distress calls.\u201d<\/p>\n
He appealed to the Federal Fire Service not to see the attack by a few residents as an attack against the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
Mr Aluko who assured the officers of adequate safety from the state government implored them to continue to provide the necessary and desired services to the people.<\/p>\n
He said the government would step up its sensitisation of residents on fire prevention techniques to reduce incidence of fire outbreak rather than dissipate all its resources toward fighting fire outbreaks.<\/p>\n
Mr Aluko reminded the residents that distance to the point of fire outbreaks and difficulty in locating the addresses could hamper movement to the venues; thereby causing lateness.<\/p>\n
\u201cA fire incident occurred at about 8.00 p.m. at a house in Moferere area of Ado Ekiti and at some point or the other, both the state and federal fire services responded to the call, eventually, the house was completely conflagrated.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what bring us here today is not just the fire itself, but what happened when Federal Fire Service appliance arrived at the site soon after the call was made.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey arrived there, ready to contain the fire, only to be confronted by hundreds of residents and hoodlums throwing stones at their vehicle and the windscreen was smashed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe governor is extremely horrified about such act by citizens of the state against employees of state or federal governments who were sent to the site to assist the citizens of the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf something like that is allowed to happen without any sanction, then we can send \u2018water people\u2019 to a place and then they will be attacked.<\/p>\n
\u201cA number of arrests have been made and we want to be sure that those who were masterminds of such unnecessary attacks are brought to justice so that something like that will not continue.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe require them to continue to assist our state services, they are development partners within the state whatever it is that our state services cannot do, they will do and vice versa.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if they now step down their activities, even our own state services may be frightened to go to where they are supposed to go if they feel threatened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Gbenga Omoniyi, Director, Ekiti State Fire Services and and his Federal Fire Services counterpart, Adeyemi Ariyo, condemned the act.<\/p>\n
They called on the state government to put in place measures towards curtailing such occurrences in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
