Description

An abandoned quarry in Nigeria has become a tourist hotspot after images were posted on social media earlier this month.
The rocky cliffs climbing into a blue sky, a moss-lined footpath, small green hills and a lake that shimmers in the sun are quite breath-taking and a set of images shared on Twitter at the beginning of August has been liked more than a thousand times.
In a matter of days of the post, the site, known as Crushed Rock, in Mpape - a poor neighbourhood on the outskirts of the capital Abuja - was thronged.
There has been a DJ stand, food vendors, hundreds of sun-bathing selfie-takers - and even a band of classical musicians.
