The Shell Group pays the equivalent of 70 million euros in damages for two. Subsequently, the company agreed with the affected community Bodo in the Niger Delta.
The Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell will pay in the dispute over oil spills in Nigeria 55 million pounds (70 million euros) to 15,600 fishermen and farmers from the Niger Delta. £ 35 million to be divided among the individual plaintiffs, 20 million to benefit the entire community, such as Shell announced on Wednesday. This ends a simmering for three years litigation before the trial had begun this year.
Attorneys of the affected farmers and fishermen from the village of Bodo, whose environment is polluted heavily by two oil spills in 2008, known as “deeply disappointing” that the corporation the amount of damage so long not recognized. It is the first comparison of its kind and should serve as a template shell for future cases in Nigeria and other countries.
