The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has clarified that there was no fire outbreak at Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, following a smoke scare that briefly caused concern.
In an update to an earlier advisory, FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire, said the smoke noticed inside the terminal was caused by the discharge of the FM-200 fire suppression system, not by a fire.
He added that the cause of the system’s activation is currently under investigation.
FAAN assured passengers and other airport users that normal operations have resumed at the terminal, while investigations continue to determine what triggered the discharge of the fire suppression system.
