A fire engine belonging to the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service was attacked and damaged by #ENDSARS protesters on Tuesday at the Alausa, Ikeja, area of the state.
This was confirmed by the acting head of the fire service agency of the state, Mrs Margaret Adeseye.
According to her, the fire engine was on its way from Salvation Street, Opebi, fire to 10 Thomas Adeboye Street, Olowoira fire incident when it was attacked.
She explained that the distress call to Olowoira was received at about 1208hrs, and the Alausa fire station was en-route the scene from Opebi, where it had just concluded an operation.
“The Olowoira fire incident occurred at the front flat of the upper floor of a storey building. The severe fire was however confined to the flat it originated from by the firemen. There was neither injury nor death in the combated fire,” she said.
Adeseye advised Lagosians to stop destroying government properties since the cost was also borne by the tax payers.
