Indigenes of Okordia Clan in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State yesterday abandoned their homes in fear of a possible earth quake following an earth tremor that happened in the area.

Daily Trust gathered that no fewer than 50 buildings have their walls cracked by the strange occurence,while many of the indigenes of the community attributed strange earth tremor to the years of oil exploration activities by oil multinationals.

In a fact- finding  visit to the area yesterday,the Paramount Ruler of the Community,Chief Franco Daniel,said the incident occurred at about late evening on Wednesday and caused panic in the community.
