There was confusion in Koi town in Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State as the earth vibrated twice on Sunday afternoon in the ancient city, forcing residents to panic.
This is the second time the town will experience this in 2016, Punch reported.
It was gathered that on July 30, 2016, Haying Magani in Ikara Local Government Area of the state was rattled by earth tremor which destroyed some homes and injured some people.
The Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the LGA, Mr. Ben Kure, confirmed the development, saying that the first one happened around 10.30am on Sunday.
Kure said he was in the Church when it started.
He said, “I was in church around 10.30am when the whole town shook. It lasted for about three to five seconds. I came out of the church and we inspected the town and there was no damage to any building and no one was injured.
“Two hours later, while I was driving to Kaduna, a palace official called to inform me that there was another one that took place. When I inquired, he said that there was no damage.
“I have already informed all relevant agencies of government and officials. We are putting in place all necessary cautions and preparing for any eventuality.”
