The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has retracted its earlier announcement regarding a fire at Terminal 2 of Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. Initially, FAAN had reported that a fire had occurred and that its Aerodrome Rescue and Firefighting Service had been deployed to contain the situation. However, the authority now clarifies that there was no actual fire at the terminal.
The smoke observed inside parts of Terminal 2 was found to be the result of the discharge of the facility's FM-200 fire suppression system. FAAN's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire, announced this update in a statement posted on the authority's official X handle.
FAAN emphasized that normal operations resumed at the terminal following the incident, and investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause. The authority expressed gratitude for the understanding and cooperation of passengers, airlines, airport users, and other stakeholders during the situation.
