The Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) has said the anxiety over earth tremors experienced in the Maitama axis of the Federal Capital Territory no cause for concern urging residents not to panic.
A statement by the NGSA Director-General, Professor Olusegun Ige, on Wednesday disclosed that the agency monitored the tremors and found them to be low and do not pose any threat to the environment.
It reported that approximately 48 separate earthquake events have been recorded, with both intensity and frequency increasing between Friday, September 13th to Monday, September 16th.
The statement read, “ The NGSA Monitoring Station at Katampe has been capturing several significant ground motions with high moment magnitudes in the past five days, beginning from September 13, 2024, till date.
