The individuals from the Niger delta area of Ogale, a farming community, joined more than 2,000 people from the Bille area, a large fishing community. Shell have been operating on the Niger delta for over 80 years and recently announced they will be ceasing all operations. The oil company made record-breaking profits in 2022, reaching over $32bn in the first three quarters. The oil giant are arguing they are not responsible for a clean up of Nigerian communities for spills that they say were caused by criminal gangs over five years ago. Lawyers representing the fishing villages argue that the scale of oil spills in the delta masks a human tragedy on an extraordinary scale.
