Commissioning Turns Sour As Angry FCT Minister Suspends FCT Fire Service Boss

Commissioning Turns Sour as FCT Minister Suspends the director
of the FCT Fire Service, Mr Opetunsin over alleged dereliction of
duty and perceived incompetence.

The FCT Minister, Mohammed Bello went to commission some Fire
Service facilities, vehicles.

Trouble started when the FCT Minister finished commissioning the
vehicles and moved to inspect them. To his shock, the ambulance had
no air condition facilities and oxygen, while he opened one of the
drawers to check for drugs and saw the kit, it was dusty and
unkempt.

The visibly unhappy minister then moved to check the fire
fighting trucks, when he asked for a brief display, he was once
again shocked to be told that there is no water in the tanker.

The minister managed to contend his anger as he read his speech
after the inspection.

The minister later decided to inspect the office building
complex, it was at this time that issues got more complicated! The
minister discovered that log books were not kept by some
departments. Upon further inspections, the minister discovered that
the 6-flat apartment building made to be used by those on duty were
occupied by the 6 top officials of the FCT Fire Service

‘It is quite sad that an important and big city like Abuja
relies on refurbished & dilapidated equipment.’ – Dr. Aminu
Gamawa who shared the shocking video said.
