According to the Authority, the earth tremor did not cause any damage as it is a minor one.

In December last year, two earth tremors hit Ghana’s capital. They occurred on December 12 and 16 respectively.

Meanwhile, the Survey Authority has noted that it has been difficult to predict earth tremors as it is a natural occurrence.

However, it noted that “the Authority is committed to continuously monitoring these events and informing the public appropriately to ensure public safety and minimize risk.”
