Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos. An eyewitness said the
fire emanated from some cables, which apparently melted under heat
.This led to a blackout in the airport terminal while fire fighters
deployed swiftly in the affected area to quench the inferno.
The fire fighters were able to put the situation under control while
security men erected a metal barricade around the site. In a separate
incident, a cargo plane blew off the roof of a parking lot at the
airport on Wednesday night, causing damage to some cars.
The extent of damage has yet to be ascertained.
