An outdoor gathering is depicted in Akwanga, Nigeria, on 24 January 2026, at approximately 11:49. The scene unfolds on a paved surface, partially covered by a red carpet in the foreground, where a microphone on a stand is visible. In the immediate foreground, the backs of three individuals are presented: one in a dark denim shirt, one in a white patterned shirt, and a male wearing a blue and black camouflage police uniform, including a bucket hat and a patch reading "POLICE NIGERIA." This individual carries a black rifle with a strap across his shoulder. A large white event tent occupies the central portion of the image, sheltering numerous people seated and standing. Several individuals are actively engaged, many dressed in traditional attire featuring leopard print patterns, some with bare chests. One person in a white flowing garment is visible near the center. Among the crowd, a drum is discernible. To the far right, a person in a light green traditional tunic and pants is standing. In the background, single-story buildings with light brown pitched roofs are visible on both sides of the tent. Sparse green trees and foliage are present beyond the structures. The sky is overcast and light grey. A dark cable or power line stretches horizontally across the upper mid-section of the frame. The image was captured using an OPPO A78 device.
