The headquarters of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) early Tuesday was razed by fire in Lagos state.

The cause of the inferno is unknown and firefighters battled it for hours, causing a traffic hold up for commuters heading to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

Most passengers who had early flights while the inferno raged had to abandon vehicles that brought them to trek to the terminal buildings.

Spokeswoman for FAAN, Ms. Henrieta Yakubu, said the inferno affected some offices.

She added that a panel of investigators compromising officials of the Department of State Security (DSS); the Nigerian Police Force; Accident and Investigation Bureau (AIB); and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has been set up to probe the cause of the fire.
