Nigeria : Un incendie s’est déclaré dans le terminal 1 de l’aéroport de Lagos
A fire broke out yesterday, Monday, February 23, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. According to local media reports, the flames engulfed Terminal 1, prompting a response from firefighters and police. The fire was quickly brought under control.
Unfortunately, several pieces of airport equipment were destroyed by the flames. There were also injuries among airport users. Five ambulances were seen evacuating them to the airport hospital, according to Punch.
They were later rescued with the help of a construction crane.
It must be said that this major incident caused flight diversions and exacerbated delays and operational uncertainty for airlines. No planes were able to take off or land. The dozen agents assigned to the control tower were trapped. They were later rescued with the help of a construction crane.
The cause of the fire has not yet been released, but initial investigations indicate it started in the computer server room in wing E of the departures hall. The flames then spread to the adjacent radio communications room.
An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire. Air traffic resumed several hours after the incident.
