New year fire: Angry mob attacks fire fighters in Onitsha for late arrival

Operatives of Anambra State Fire Service were on Sunday, 1 January, 2023, attacked by some angry mob, for arriving late at the scene of a fire incident.

The incident occurred at Atani Road, by Uga Junction, Onitsha, at about 6 pm.

The attackers were said to have shattered the wind shield and side mirrors of the fire truck, and also injured some of the operatives.

Anambra State Fire Service Chief, Engr Martin Agbili, in a statement on Monday, described the incident as barbaric and “a bad way to start the new year.”

According to him, “On Sunday 1st January, 2023 at about 1800hours, Anambra State Fire Service, received a distress call of fire incident at Uga junction by Atani road.

“Immediately, our fire truck and fire fighters were deployed to the scene. On arrival to the fire scene, the mob attacked us.

“They threw stones, sticks and iron at us. Unfortunately, they shattered the windscreen of our fire trucks, the side glasses and also wounded some firefighters.

“As they started throwing stones on the fire truck while the fire was still on, what we could hear was, ‘is it now that you people are coming to fight the fire?’…We managed to escape the mob attack with our shattered windscreen and some injured firefighters.

“This gift of new year is really unfortunate, that our hardworking firefighters of Anambra State will be welcomed to the new year with this barbaric act. The preparators of this ugly act will surely be brought to book,” Agbali said.

Those easterners are just angry people.
When you justify the act of transferring agression to the wrong person, the result is this.
Tomorrow another area would call them, they'll refuse to avoid any beating, damages increases.
If they delayed we could file a complain not destroy state properties

Anambra again? But some cuckoo fellows said fire only happens in their shops inLagos when they go home for christmas. They said that people set fire on their shops because of envy, so who set fire on this Onitsha again?

We as Nigerians have a lot to fix in this 2023.

There are signs of unrest among the people due to the actions/inactions of the current administration. It would be wise for Soludo to pay attention to these concerns and not simply listen to those who praise his political decisions.
