The scene, located in the city of Lekki, Nigeria, depicts an urban roadside area with ongoing excavation and pedestrian activity. The immediate foreground shows disturbed sandy soil, littered with a clear plastic bottle and other debris. A dark green fabric, likely clothing, partially covers the bottom center of the frame. A trench, approximately 1.5 meters wide, traverses the mid-ground. Its exposed bottom contains packed earth and a grid of metal reinforcement bars. A makeshift crossing, appearing to be a concrete slab or sturdy wooden plank, spans the trench, facilitating movement between the sandy bank and a paved road surface. Several individuals and vehicles are present. A male subject, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, is observed walking from left to right across the makeshift trench crossing. On the paved surface beyond the trench, a group of approximately five to seven individuals stands. This group includes a female in a blue dress and a pink head covering, and a male in a grey shirt. Another individual, wearing an orange shirt and carrying a black shoulder bag, stands near a parked white commercial passenger van with a green stripe. A silver commercial minivan with an open passenger door and an occupant visible is parked further left on the paved surface. The background features additional vehicles, utility poles with overhead lines, and commercial buildings, one displaying a large yellow and black sign. The sky is overcast.
