Seedy Gaye, 25, Alagie Gaye, 23, and Omar Jagne, 26, died after their overcrowded boat capsized not very far from the shore in Gunjur. The victims were shooting a religious music video when the incident happened.
Suwaibou Drammeh a fisherman who took part in rescue operations told The Fatu Network the incident happened around 9am Sunday.
“We heard people screaming in the sea and then we saw a boat capsizing. We raced to the scene to rescue them but some had already drowned,” Drammeh said adding at least 20 people were inside the boat.
The Fatu Network has learnt the owner of the boat is under police custody but the police spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.
