The only man-made lake in Liberia, Lake Tileh, has been turned into a dumpsite for marketeers at the Sanniquellie Central Market and the surrounding neighborhoods. When contacted, Sanniquellie Marketing Superintendent Beatrice Lah could not deny claims about the disposal of garbage along the lake. She however said the marketeers do not have any other nearby dumpsite that is far away from the market. Sanniquellie Central Market was built in the late ’50s at the bank of Lake Tileh. The market building overlooks the shore of the lake, which many believe led to the disposal of garbage into Lake Tileh.
