The creek got infected after an MNG reservoir containing diluted chemicals overflowed with rainwater and spilled into the creek.
According to a recent report by the National Bureau of Concession (NBC) sent to the Liberian Senate shows that three million gallons of diverse toxic chemicals were released in the community by MNG and will remain in the environment for decades to come.
Some of the chemical spill into the community includes cyanide, mercury and lead, which are highly dangerous to the community residents, their water source and flora and fauna.
