Again, Power outage hits MMIA

By LAWANI MIKAIRU & DANIEL ETEGHE
IKEJA— Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, was, yesterday, thrown into darkness, while   passengers and workers were trapped inside lifts for 45 minutes due to power outage.

The outage occurred at 12 noon.

According to an eye- witness, those  trapped in the lifts were heard screaming and kicking inside for help.



He added that the people who were trapped also tried to force the lifts open, but could not.

The screaming of the trapped victims attracted the attention of Federal Aviation Airports Authority engineers, who had to go to the sixth floor to work on the lifts before they could force them open.
