We just felt a major land tremor in several parts of Ibadan Oyo state about 30-40 minutes ago resulting in louvers and glass ware breakages. A friend has his flat screen TV fall but thankfully the screen remained intact.
Was this tremor felt in any neighbouring states or other part of the country?

Residents of Ibadan run for cover as tremor shakes major parts

Residents of some communities in Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State were terrified on Tuesday evening as something like an earthquake shook most parts of the city.

The shaking happened some minutes before 8pm.

According to information gathered, the quake shook the School of Nursing, University College Hospital and reportedly shattered all the windows.

Some residents of Ologuneru, Owalla, Isokan, Ekerin, Eleyele and parts of Apete also said they felt the shaking.

At Ologuneru, gates and fence of a building shook but did not collapse.

According Mr Babatunde Arowosafe, “My daughter and wife who were in different places at the time of the shaking ran out saying they felt a heavy thud on the ground. My daughter said she heard it at the back of the house while her mummy said she heard it on the roof.”

“I was sitting in the living room when the earth shook. I thought something hit my gate and I was about rushing out when my boy said, he heard the gate of the neighbor’s house shake too.”

Some residents from Bodija, Obasa, Mokola, Oke Itunu, Barracks, Gbaremu also shared their experiences.

“I was alighting from a car when I heard a deafening noise. People ran Helter shelter. I felt things were rolling.

One of the nurses at UCH, Leye said on her status that some patients were confused and started running.

Heard its a gas station of that exploded. Also that a building in uch collapsed. So many casualties. Not verified O.

🥵

Lord have mercy......o

Someone said it was an explosion around Bodija. Close to Trans Amusement Park. No confirmed or verified information for now. Let's just be careful the way we move around the city.

I'm hopeful that no life was lost nor heavy loss of properties

It could be military action

It's big

Omoh!... I felt it from Mokola ..our building vibrated, even doors banged

When was that

The last thing we need in Nigeria is natural disaster..

Pray normalcy returns without casualities..


I sell herbs tho

Wawu

Nigeria doesn't lie on any major fault lines so it's unlikely to be an earthquake.
It's most probably an explosion of a big gas tank

This is bad!!!

We too dey rush for this country, tremor, gas explosion....... No real explanation.

U sure say Europe never start world war as we don begin experience the effects of nuke

It is well

I just hope it’s not too bad, may our friends and Ibadan be safe

AchrafHakimi:

The fire will spread faster due to brown roofs.

You don't have to hawk your stupidity in a public space!

Yet police go say them dey gather intelligence.


Unintelligent lot! Over an hour, no information as to the cause of the reverberations.

Watch as Righteousness19 would come here to say its a Sign of Endtime......
