Lagos to Prosecute False Caller of Fire Officer on Prank Call

The @followlasg is set to arraign Uzuokwu Solomon, 18, for offences relating to making hoax calls for emergency responder which is punishable under the Lagos State Fire service law& Command & control Centre law 2013.

The culprit who is alleged to have called the emergency line of the Fire Service on Friday, April 14, 2023 at 17:35 hours from Harmony Estate, Langbasa, Ajah, Lagos and reported a Fire emergency within the estate leading to the activation of emergency processes and eventual dispatch of the fire trucks from Lekki Phase II Fire service station. On arrival it was discovered that there was no fire incident. Because of the frequency of such calls in the past, the Estate security helped in the investigation which led to arrest of the false caller.

Consequently, the culprit who had been arrested is scheduled to be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction at Ogba Magistrate on the 19th of April, 2023 by 9.00am.

Speaking with Journalists, The Director Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Mrs Margaret Adeseye expressed her delight in the arrest of the culprit while reiterating the stand of the State government on malicious false calls which is punishable under the Lagos State laws.

She believes that the arrest and consequent arraignment will serve as deterrent for other misguided citizens who are in the habit of making false calls and misleading emergency responders.

It is instructive to inform the general public that false calls have astronomically increased in the last six months.

Why would anyone be so jobless and idle to be calling emergency lines for amusement....

I support this action!


Jail them up!

If nobody is punished, nobody would learn.

He shouldn't get less than one year imprisonment with a fine to go with it.

Good move, LASG!

Nonsense...MC Olueran boys killed Scores of Lagosians and LASG couldn't do anything

Nice one.
Hopefully this should serve as a lesson to other prank callers.

Highly irresponsible

Ok

Just imagine the stress those fire service must have passed through in the process

RecentHistory:
I don't blame Uzoukwu. In Anambra, they borrow firetrucks from Delta State. Coming from South East to borrow firetrucks from South South. Shameless beggars.
Seeing a firetruck respond so fast is like a miracle for him.
Wretched pigs of Biafra.
