Oil pollution in Nigeria

Why are the residents of the Ogale community in Nigeria protesting against Shell?

Residents of Ogale, Bilay, and Ugali communities in Nigeria are protesting against Shell due to ongoing legal battles over severe oil pollution. For a decade, these communities have suffered from hundreds of oil spills that have destroyed their livelihoods and damaged their homes. Dressed in black, protesters blocked access to a Shell facility, chanting 'Shell must pay.' The communities are pursuing legal action in the United Kingdom courts, demanding accountability from the oil giant for the extensive environmental damage that has devastated their agricultural lands and water sources.
