An electric spark on Wednesday compelled the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to divert flights from Terminal 3 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.
The FAAN Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
Agbebire disclosed that the terminal was shut following the spark in an operational office, which resulted in smoke emission at 2:05 p.m. on Wednesday.
