Some have said the incident has happened twice already on Monday, December 12.
Places that experienced the tremors included Santa Maria, Sowutuom, Adabraka, Gbawe, McCarthy Hill, Osu Ako Adjei and Mallam.

NADMO intensifies earthquake education campaign
Meanwhile Joseph Ankrah, director of geological and nuclear department at the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) said his outfit is poised to roll out a nationwide educational campaign on earthquakes.
The move forms part of efforts by the disaster management body to arm Ghanaians with requisite and relevant information on tremors.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Yaa Mensah on The Asaase Breakfast Show on Friday 9 April, 2021, Ankrah said: “We have already prepared plans and materials to roll them out for the public for them to know how to live sustainably so that we can all remain safe in times of earthquake.”
Ankrah added: “Very soon the airwaves will be saturated with these messages, so that everybody will appreciate and know that this is what they have to do and we also hope the public will abide by the advice that we will give them.”
Cities like Accra, Tema, Ho, Cape Coast, Takoradi, as well as important installations in the south of Ghana such as those for communication, water, oil and gas, electricity and some iconic national infrastructure all lie within areas exposed to earthquakes.
Past earthquakes in Ghana and the examination of current conditions by the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) have shown that the full range of secondary effects like fires, flooding from broken pipes and dams, tsunamis, landslides/rock falls and liquefaction are all possible from strong ground shaking in the country.
