A few weeks ago, the people of Shaki community in Oyo state started experiencing earth tremors that lasted several days. This sudden movements didn’t occur in Shaki alone, but also in surrounding communities. Since then, the residents of Shaki have fled their homes, while others who remain, do so in fear.
Following this event, experts warn of an imminent earthquake in Nigeria’s south-west in the next four years. In a report titled, ‘Preliminary Assessment of Earth Tremor Occurrence in Shaki Area, Shaki West Local Government, Oyo State,’ researchers from the Department of Geology, Obafemi Awolowo University, led by Dr Adepelumi A. Abraham, indicate that the people in the south western region will experience a ‘damaging earthquake’ before the year 2020.
Research leader, Adepelumi, is no stranger to seismic researches, he conducted one 6 years ago when a similar tremor occurred in Ogun State, Abeokuta in 2009. At the time, Adepelumi suggested that the risk of more earthquakes in that region was 2.8 percent. But in the recent report, the risk of imminent earthquakes in the south-west region has risen to 91.1 percent.
“… Our findings indicate the probability of earthquake occurrence in the study area between the year 2009 and 2028 increased from 2.8 per cent to 91.1 percent.” The geologist has advised the federal government to adopt proactive strategies towards preventing the impending disasters.
As if to corroborate the findings of Adepelumi, the Nigerian Association of Water-Well Drilling Rig Owners and Practitioners (AWDROP) recently also warned that a lack of regulating guidelines in the abstraction of underground water, will induce earthquake and sea water intrusion in the country.
