Earth Tremors Rattle Abuja Residents. Series of earth tremors rattle abuja residents over the past week, particularly affecting areas such as Mpape, Katampe, and Maitama. The Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) has been closely monitoring these events and has assured the public that there is no cause for alarm.
The tremors, which began on September 13, 2024, have been described as low-intensity and non-threatening. Despite several significant ground motions being recorded, the intensity and frequency of these tremors have remained relatively low. The NGSA attributes these tremors to accumulated stress along identified faults and the subsequent release of seismic energy.
In a statement, the NGSA emphasized that while the tremors are noticeable, they do not pose a significant threat to the safety of residents. The agency continues to monitor the situation and has urged residents to remain calm and follow any safety guidelines provided.
Local authorities have also been briefed on the situation and are prepared to respond to any potential emergencies. Meanwhile, residents are advised to stay informed through official channels and report any unusual activities to the relevant authorities.
As the tremors continue, the NGSA remains vigilant in its efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of Abuja’s residents.
