Wreckage of industrial waste disposal truck that crashed in Sambuyang killing one person Earlier in the week similar trucks of different colours were seen carrying industrial waste for Golden Lead to an unknown destination after concerned youths of Gunjur and Human Rights activist Amadou Scattred Janneh removed waste pipe from the sea.

The removal of the waste pipe from the sea that was linked to the Golden Lead Fish meal processing plant came on the hills of the 7-day ultimatum given to the factory to remove the toxic waste disposal pipeline from the sea or it will be removed by the youths.
