A fire broke out at the E54 Passenger Air Bridge within the domestic wing of Lagos State’s Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA). Obiageli Orah, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), confirmed the incident in a statement released on Thursday.
According to Orah, the fire ignited at 5:29 a.m. on Thursday, prompting flight operations from Terminal 1 to be diverted to the D Wing of the facility.
The Airport Rescue and Firefighting Services (ARFFS) managed to contain the fire by 06:41 a.m., while efforts were underway to clear the smoke from the building.
“Smoke was observed emanating from the E54 Bridge at 05:29 hrs, prompting electrical engineers to swiftly disconnect power to the entire E Wing. ARFFS responded promptly, arriving at the scene by 05:30 hrs. Initial indications suggest sparks from an electrical unit as the likely cause, although a thorough investigation is ongoing,” Orah explained.
She added, “The situation, which escalated into a fire, was brought under control by 06:41 hrs. Measures to disperse the smoke are ongoing. Meanwhile, all flight operations at Terminal 1 of MMA have been redirected to the D Wing. Further updates will be provided shortly,” the statement concluded.
