THE Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has claimed that there was no fire outbreak at Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.
In a statement signed by FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire, the authority said preliminary investigations showed there was no fire at the facility.
“Preliminary findings indicate that there was no fire at the terminal. The smoke observed within the affected area resulted from the discharge of the terminal’s FM-200 fire suppression system. The reason for the activation of the fire suppression system is currently being investigated,” the statement read.
FAAN announced that normal operations have resumed at the terminal as investigations are ongoing to understand the cause of the suppression system activation. The authority expressed gratitude to passengers, airlines, and other stakeholders for their cooperation during the incident.
