Shell accepts liability for two massive oil spills that have had severe impact on the economy, health and development of the community of Bodo in Nigeria

In 1993, the late Ken Saro-Wiwa led the campaign against environmental pollution due to activities of Oil and gas industries in the Niger Delta region. Experts now report on BBC news  the extent of damage caused by the multinational oil producing Giant SHELL.  The spillage  has been compared to the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska which was estimated at 10million gallons of oil. On 3rd August 2011, SHELL admitted to two devastating oil spills  in Nigeria's Ogoniland and now faces 26million pounds fine in a Nigerian court
