The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has clarified that no fire outbreak occurred at Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, contrary to initial concerns that prompted an emergency response on Sunday.
FAAN said preliminary findings showed that the smoke observed within the terminal was caused by the discharge of the facility’s FM-200 fire suppression system and not by a fire incident.
According to the authority, investigations are ongoing to determine what triggered the activation of the system.
The authority had earlier announced an incident at Terminal 2 and deployed its Aerodrome Rescue and Firefighting Service (ARFFS) to the scene as a precautionary measure while emergency protocols were activated.
FAAN also confirmed that no casualties or injuries were recorded.
It further disclosed that normal operations have resumed at the terminal, with passengers being processed and flight activities continuing as scheduled.
