Oil makes things "slip", it is a lubricant, it reduces friction. Brake blocks work by "gripping" the wheel rim and stop the wheel turning using high friction between the block and the rim.
Placing oil on the brake blocks will reduce their efficiency and if the rider can not stop quickly they may run into things.
