Another earth tremor on Tuesday took place at Kwoi community in Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

It was gathered that the tremor was accompanied by heavy vibration,  forcing many residents to flee the community.

It was learnt that the incident which happened around 9am led to the immediate closure of schools.

A resident, Ayuba Nok said the Tuesday tremor was more serious than previous ones.

“Today’s tremor was very loud. It was louder than the previous ones. Some schools were forced to close. They sent their students back home.

“Mallam Maude School, LEA Central Primary School and Sabzuro Primary School were some of the schools which were forced to close as a result of the sound of the tremor. They were afraid that something worse might happen.

“The heavy vibration of the tremor happened around 9 am today. It also occurred on Monday around 3am. The sound of Monday’s tremor was not as loud and devastating as the one of this morning.

“The Chairman, Mr. Ben Kure, is saying that people should be calm and stay where they are. But, the people are already frightened and they are in shock.

“When the incident happened again today, many of us who were thinking otherwise before decided to leave the town, especially the women and children. This is because we don’t know probably the whole town may sink when another one happens. And the government is not doing anything for now to evacuate people.”
