Passengers ran for their dear lives after a fire broke out at the terminal of the E-Arrival Finger of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos. It was however promptly put out before it could wreck a major damage on the facility.
Sources say the fire started at the second floor of the terminal in the commercial department of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) as a result of a surge in electricity supply.
When smoke was seen wafting from the floor in the building, passengers and other airport users at the departure hall began running helter-skelter for dear life. Meanwhile, normalcy is gradually returning as the fire has been extinguished.
