To be displayed today at Lagos C’Mosque after Jumat service
There was pandemonium at the Ebute Ero end of the Lagos Island in the early hours of Sunday following the sudden appearance of an Arabic inscription ALLAH (God) on a patch of dry cement, on end of the road leading to Ebute Ero WelfareAssociation Market, Lagos Island Local Government, few meters away from the Police Division in the area.
Initial report said the mysterious inscription appeared overnight on the floor of the road and became more apparent at noon on Sunday attracting thousands of people and causing a frenzied rush to the area.
Speaking to Facing the Kaaba, on the issue, the Chief Imam of Lagos State, Alhaji Muhammad Garuba Akinola Ibrahim, OON, said itwas found in the early hoursof Sunday at a place usually covered by water within the Ebute Ero Market; but it manifested because the water-log in the area dried up. “So, it could have been there before now but because of the water-log, noone could have noticed it. But it is one of the signs of Allah.”

Alhaji Garba stated that similar miraculous examples had been found in fish; trees, snail even in babies all over the world urging that it is another opportunity to witness the signs of Allah and to show that Islam is a religion sanctioned by Allah. He lampooned those who threw caution to the wind and bowed down in worship of the object urging them to repent and seek forgiveness of Allah as it is only a sign ofAllah and not a deity to be worshiped.
Stating why the object had to be removed to the Central Mosque, The Chief Imam stated: “My attention was drawn to the stampede and what people had turnedthe stone into within 24 hours that it was noticed; some bowed to it turning it into a deity of some sort; so, we had to remove it from there.”
He disclosed that the object will be displaced at the Central Mosque today after Jumat service for interested member of the public to see but warned that people should avoid committing shirk on the signs of Allah.
Alhaji Jide Idris who led the excavation of the stone noted that it was difficult removing the stone, nothing that even the police could not contain the rowdiness aseveryone in the area wanteda glimpse of the object. He confirmed that it was at found on the road usually covered by water.
He stressed that since it was removed, people including the non-Muslims have been coming to the Central Mosque to see the stone.
Five people were reported fainted due to the rowdinessof the place while many hoodlums seized the opportunity to commit crimes.

Having taken it to the mosque or made it a "tourist" attraction makes that wish impossible
People will do shirk on account of it. That can no longer be helped. People will make "pilgrimage" to it, bow to it, pray near it, will like to take part of it away etc

^
Reminds me of some individuals who specialty is self beating and shrik

^^^^^
The self beating is even a small matter compared to when somebody confidently asserts that when a being other than Allah (SWT) says be, it will be! May Allah keep up on upon guidance.

Subahanallah! May Allah guide us from such. Amin
