Some parts of Weija, Gbawe in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region on Sunday morning experienced an earth tremor which scared residents.
The tremor which occurred at about 7:50 a.m. shook buildings, creating panic among the residents.
A Senior official of the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA), who confirmed the incident to Accra based radio “Citi News” in an interview, said they are collecting data from other stations of the Authority to give definite details about what happened.
“There was an earth tremor this morning. One of the stations at GIMPA recorded this event so we can confirm that it was a small earthquake. For the magnitude, we have only one of our station’s data, but it tells us that the magnitude is not up to 5, it is somewhere a little above 4, so we are going to some of our other stations to retrieve data then we can have enough data, analyze it and give the exact magnitude and location of this earth tremor.”
Weija and Gbawe have long been known as earthquake-prone areas in the country.
