An earth tremor hit parts of Accra on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at around 7:20 am. The tremor, which lasted for a few seconds, sent residents into a panic, with many running out of their homes around Weija, a suburb of Accra.
There are no reports of any injuries or damage to property. But several people who experienced the tremor took to social media page X formerly Twitter to share their experience.
