It lasted for about 3 to 5 seconds. I came out of church and we inspected the town and there was no damage, no injury. “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 there were no damages. “I have already informed all relevant agencies of government and officials.
