A large part of Ghana’s capital city, Accra, and other surrounding areas experienced earth tremors late Wednesday.
The slight movements of the earth occurred between 10:40pm and 10:50pm.
The magnitude of the tremors has not been officially measured but most residents who felt the incident said it happened three times in a spate of 10 minutes.
Aside the central business area of the nation’s capital, other areas such as Adenta, North Legon, Avenor, Kwabenya, Gbawe, Adabraka, among others also experienced the tremors.
