The Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, in Lagos has been the scene of a fire scare this morning.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has now confirmed that normal operations have resumed at the terminal after preliminary findings showed that there was no actual fire at the facility.

The smoke observed in the affected area resulted from the discharge of the terminal's FM-200 fire suppression system. This is according to Mr Henry Agbebire, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at FAAN. Agbebire revealed that the reason for the activation of the fire suppression system is currently being investigated. Normal operations have since resumed at the terminal, while detailed investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the incident.

FAAN appreciates the understanding and cooperation of passengers, airlines, airport users, and all stakeholders, and reiterates its commitment to the safety and security of all airport operations. The authority has assured that it will take all necessary steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
