Bina Footprint, Rock formation with footprint in Lapai, Nigeria
The Bina Footprint is a rock formation with a clear depression carved into its surface, located three kilometers from Muye in Niger State. The impression shows the shape of a human foot and remains visible on the exposed stone.
Official documentation of this rock formation began in 1960 when it was recognized as an important landmark in Niger State. This marked the start of its formal record as a natural site of interest.
Local people connect this footprint to a man called Dabo who made this mark while traveling from Bina toward Gulu to prepare for prayer. The story has been told through families over time and shapes how visitors understand the place.
The site is accessible by main roads leading to Lapai in the area. Local guides are present to help visitors locate the footprint and explain what they are seeing.
The depression has remained sharply defined across many years of weather exposure and natural wear. This preservation across multiple generations of local observation is notably unusual for an open rock surface.
