A part of the popular Ogun River which flows under the Kara Bridge around Ojodu Berger area of Lagos State has mysteriously gone dry.
Unidentified green plants are seen on the river while the water body has given way.
Before the unusual incident, the water body once served as means of transportation for canoe owners but residents say they woke up to see the channel blocked on Saturday morning.
There were initial suspicion that this could be water hyacinth but the surface of what used to be the flowing river had become a firm ground.
Some people were seen testing the solidity of the green that has taken over the waterway by walking across the river and some found it a readymade recreation ground.
Surprisingly, on the other side of the Kara Bridge, the river was seen flowing freely.
Environmentalists have, however, warned that residents keep off the blocked channel for the risks of it opening up unexpectedly and advised relevant authorities find a means of clearing the plants.
