The area around Aso Rock in Abuja, Nigeria, is home to various plants and animals. Despite the rocky terrain and dry climate, various plant species like acacia, baobab trees, grasses, and shrubs thrive in the region. Birds such as doves, pigeons, and raptors can be seen flying above, while lizards, including agamas and geckos, bask on the rocks. Some small mammals like squirrels and bats also inhabit the area, along with insects such as butterflies and beetles. 

More important is the legend of people living inside Aso Rock. Aso Rock is a place where reality and myth intertwine, creating an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. Aso Rock dwellers, it is whispered among the locals, hold sway over the fate of the nation's politics, their whispers echoing through the corridors of power in the nearby Aso Villa complex. Some say that the decisions made by the nation's leaders are influenced by the subtle guidance of these enigmatic beings, who observe the affairs of mortals from their hidden sanctuary within the rock.
