14 June 2015
Leaders of an Ijaw communities in Bayelsa state have headed to the Supreme Court over the $1.5b oil spillage and environmental degradation suit against Shell Petroleum Development of Nigeria, which was struck out by the Federal Appeal Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The leader of the Ijaw group, Mr. Pere Ajuwa, disclosed this in Abuja at the weekend during a press briefing on the court judgment.
Ajuwa alleged that the judges were bought over by Shell in order to deliver a favourable judgement for them “despite the overwhelming and convincing evidences of death, oil spillages and environmental pollution which shell activities in the land have brought”.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
