FAAN says smoke, not fire, caused emergency at Lagos airport
Comes five months after a major fire incident at the airport Although a fire did not cause Sunday’s incident, it came barely five months after a major blaze at the airport’s international terminal disrupted flight operations and damaged critical aviation infrastructure.
