A few days after the occurrence of earth tremor in Jama Local Government Area of Kaduna State, the National Space Research and Development Agency, NASRDA, has attributed the cause of the vibration to passive sources.

A statement by Head, Media and Corporate Communications of the agency, Dr, Felix Ale, said the source of the tremor would soon be determined, after completion of yet another on-going thorough and further investigation of the incident by experts in the space agency.

The incidents, according to Ale, were recorded in Kwoi and surrounding villages of Nok, Sanbah and Chori in Jama Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Sunday, September  11 and Monday 12, September, 2016.

He explained that the current findings was the outcome of a preliminary report by the team of experts immediately deployed to the affected communities from one of the activity centres of the agency:

The team, which he said was led by the Head of Seismology Division of the agency, Dr. Ofonime Akpan, was able to establish that the Seismological Station of NASRDA located at Kujama in Kaduna State, accurately recorded the unfortunate incident which made it easy for collation of data and early release of preliminary reports on the incident.
