Some parts of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, in Lagos was yesterday morning tossed into anarchy following the disclosure of a claimed bomb planted by some men in black.


The incident followed an alarm raised by workers arriving at the hajj and cargo terminal area who discovered an unattended bag.

A security source told Naijcrackgist the terminal manager, to whom the discovery was drawn, immediately placed a call to the security agencies at the airport, leading to the arrival of the Bomb Disposal Unit which opted to destroy the bag.

But the equipment used for the blast blasted a hole in one of the terminal buildings and shattered the roof. The big bang which accompanied the blast threw a scare into users of the terminal and had everyone running in different directions for safety.

After the blast, however, it was discovered that the bag only contained booklets of the Lagos State Pilgrims Welfare Board, normally issued to pilgrims from the state.

Observers said the event meant that despite the seemingly sophisticated equipment of the Bomb Disposal Unit, they adopted a crude approach that could have cost lives, as they neither analyzed the bag nor took it away from the area for safer disposal.

One security source said: “We received a call from a top official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) today, calling our attention to a possible bomb planted by some people at the terminal.

“So, we immediately got to work and blasted the bag, which we discovered contained booklets of Lagos State Pilgrims board, but, it created a lot of fear at that area of the airport.”

Responding to the talk, FAAN General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mrs Henrietta Yakubu , said the sack being referred to contained a few duplicates of an Islamic guide; implied for travelers to control them with respect to their journey.
