Earlier today, a fire broke out at the old terminal of Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, sparking concern among travellers and aviation stakeholders across Nigeria. According to authorities, the blaze erupted at the section of the airport currently undergoing renovation, prompting an immediate emergency response.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) confirmed that the fire began at the old terminal of the Lagos international airport in the afternoon. Firefighting teams were quickly mobilised to the scene to contain the flames and prevent further damage to the structure.
Despite the dramatic scenes and thick smoke reported by witnesses, FAAN has assured the public that there were no casualties or injuries as a result of the incident which is a relief to many who were closely watching developments at Nigeria’s busiest airport.
FAAN’s emergency response unit swung into action immediately, working alongside other agencies to curb the fire and secure the area. Fire teams are still on the ground working tirelessly to fully extinguish the blaze and assess the extent of the damage.
Airport officials have urged travellers and airport users to remain calm as operations continue and more details are clarified. Additional updates are expected as the aviation authority releases further information.
While the fire has attracted significant attention, official sources emphasise that the main priority remains public safety and damage control. So far, there is no confirmed report of significant disruption to flights at the main terminals of the airport.
