The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has clarified that there was no fire at Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, contrary to its earlier advisory.
PUNCH Online learnt that activities were briefly disrupted at the country’s busiest airport on Sunday after smoke was seen inside parts of the terminal.
Videos circulating online showed passengers kept standing outside the terminal while firefighters responded to the incident.
Earlier on Sunday, FAAN had announced that a fire had occurred at Terminal 2 and said its Aerodrome Rescue and Firefighting Service had been deployed to contain the situation.
However, in an update issued less than two hours later by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire, and posted on FAAN’s official X handle, the authority said preliminary findings showed that the smoke seen at the terminal was caused by the discharge of the facility’s FM-200 fire suppression system.
