Mysterious white foam draws crowds on Nigerian highway
Nesrea: Authorities warn Nigerians over mysterious foamy substance on Kaduna-Abuja Expressway
An urgent investigation has been launched by Nigeria's environmental agency after a strange white foamy substance appeared on a major highway, sparking a public spectacle and raising safety concerns.
The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (Nesrea) has warned people to keep their distance from the unidentified substance along the busy Kaduna-Abuja Expressway, linking the main city in the north to the federal capital.
Hundreds of motorists have been stopping to photograph it since it appeared a few days ago, with many sharing images on social media.
Some speculated it might be a chemical spill, while others appeared to revel in the novelty of the scene.
A regular driver on the route, Isah Aminu, told the BBC that he had initially been told by another driver that "clouds had fallen from the sky".
"That was the first information many of us got - that it's clouds from the sky," he said. "But like many, I also stopped to see it and it looked like snow,” he said.
Aminu said he was afraid to touch the foam but observed many others getting close to it.
"I think the authorities ought to come out to explain what it is so that the confusion among people will die out," he added.
