A fire broke out at the international wing of Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed airport.
A section of the airport was destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning.
The primary gateway was the section that was affected.
Firefighters were quickly dispatched to contain the fire.
Some operations were hampered as a result of the incident. Passengers and airport personnel are being evacuated from the building at the time of filing this report.
“Passengers on MMA Terminal 1 are unable to undergo immigration processing due to network complications,” said Morris Monye on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Consequently, all passengers are currently unable to proceed with their travel plans. This is as a result of a fire incident that occurred earlier this morning, which has been successfully extinguished.
“Regrettably, passengers cannot be processed at present, causing considerable dissatisfaction among them.”
