Some parts of Ghana’s capital, Accra have experienced earth tremor on Saturday, March 2, 2019.

The first which was the strongest lasted for about 5 seconds around 11.30pm before two minor quakes followed close to 12 am Sunday.

Areas which recorded the tremors were Weija-Gbawe, Kasoa, New Bortianor, McCarthy Hill, Awoshie, Abelemkpe, Tabora, Achimota, Ablekuma, Kissiman, Westland, Madina, Legon, Sowutuom and Santa Maria.

The Geological Survey Department is yet to give an update about the latest tremor which sent some residents into panic mode.

The last time Accra experienced tremor was on January 13, 2019. It measured 2.6 on the Richter Scale, the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) confirmed.
