Oil spill from Shell pipeline fouls farms and a river in a long-polluted part of Nigeria
- A new oil spill from a Shell facility in Nigeria has contaminated farmland and a river, impacting fishing and farming communities in the Niger Delta. The spill came from the Trans-Niger Pipeline that runs through the Eleme area of Ogoniland, which has a history of opposition to Shell's oil exploration.
- The volume of oil spilled has not been determined, but activists describe it as a "major one" and one of the worst in Ogoniland in the last 16 years. The leak has been contained, but treating the fallout has stalled due to mistrust and past grievances between residents, Shell, and regulators.
