Hundreds of people yesterday trooped to Idumota in Lagos Island to witness and pray at the spot where an alleged inscription, interpreted to be an Arabic word for “Allahu” meaning God, miraculously appeared on the ground.
The phenomenon was said to have taken place on Saturday evening and have attracted hundreds of Muslims and non-Muslims to the spot.
The said inscription, which is about six centimetres long, is by the roadside after Idumota Under Bridge.
People at the scene said no one could say categorically how the inscription got to the spot but many Islamic faithful at the scene believed it was an act of God.
A visitor at the scene simply identified as Femi, said the phenomenon is a first of his kind and will continue to attract hundreds of people to the spot.
A Muslim resident in the area who did not want his name in print, said since the inscription miraculously appeared on Saturday, hundreds of people have visited the scene.
He added that the spot has become a sort of tourists’ centre.
