The tremor reportedly occurred in Mpape and Maitama Districts. The incident occurred at about 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday night and 6:00 a.m. Thursday morning.

• Urges residents to take precautions

Fred Itua, Abuja

The Federal Government, through the Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has urged residents to take precautions, following a purported earth tremor, which occurred in some parts of the city on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

The tremor reportedly occurred in Mpape and Maitama Districts of the FCT, Abuja. The incident occurred at about 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday night and 6:00 a.m. on Thursday morning. A resident of Mpape, who declined to be named, told Daily Sun, last night, that the tremor led to stampede in the area and that she had to take cover under her table while the vibration lasted.

She blamed it on alleged quarry activities and blasting of rocks in Mpape District. She also said explosives are usually used during blasting of the rocks.

FEMA, in statement, said the tremor maybe a sign of seismic movement within the earth and said “it could also be caused by a sudden break along lines which result in sudden release of energy that makes the ground to shake.

The statement was signed by FEMA Director General of, Mr. Abbas Idriss.

This is coming probably almost 48 hours after the initial reports made the rounds online.

God knows why he had deliberately shielded us from major disasters. We would have all perished and dwelling in the belly of the earth before a state of emergency or an alert will be issued.

May God continue to hide us under the shadows of his wings, because as we can see, we are left to our own vices.

Can you see your life?
So countries where earthquakes, landslides and other earth related disasters occur wan their citizens ahead, and yet they record so much casualties when these disasters occur. Is movement within the earth crust the same thing with a weather related disaster?

you know nothing about geography grin. 90% of Africa's land mass is free from earthquake since we're sitting on the largest tectonic plate. Probably an experiment to see how "they" can sink Abuja since use of herdsmen is waning. lipsrsealed

How can specialists detect earth tremor before it happens?

This is not caused by water or wind, so it cannot be tracked

This is why a lot of people died in the 2012 Emilia earthquakes in Italy.
