The Federal Government
fears the recent earth tremors in parts of Abuja could lead to volcanic
eruptions following the discovery of a substance in one of the sites.
The Minister of Mines and
Steel Development, Abubakar Bwari, who visited Mpape yesterday, said a flowing
substance like magma was oozing out of the locality on account of preliminary
observations.
“We have condoned off the
area so that sample would not be tampered with. We (have) also put equipment in
place to unravel the mystery behind the earth tremors in the city centre,” he
said.
