Oil spills: Dutch, British judgments that rekindle hope for Niger Deltans

January 29, 2021 will remain memorable to the oil-rich Niger Delta communities because that was the day the Appeal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, delivered a groundbreaking judgment on three separate lawsuits brought by four Nigerian farmers over oil spills in three villages: Goi, Oruma and Ikot Ada Udo, in Rivers and Bayelsa States respectively. The oil spills rendered the claimants’ farmlands and fishponds useless.
The court had declared that Royal Dutch Shell Subsidiary was liable for the spills that have devastated the above-mentioned communities in the Niger Delta. The judgments are said to be historic as it is the first time Shell’s parent company has been found liable for a ‘breach of duty of care’ regarding abuses committed abroad by its foreign subsidiary company.

Share
13 years had passed by the time a Dutch court ruled that Shell’s Nigerian subsidiary pay compensation for oil spills in the Niger Delta. Specifically, on January 2021 the Appeal Court ruled in favour of three out of the four Nigerian farmers holding that Shell must compensate them for the damages caused by the oil spill pollution. The Court also held that Shell International has “duty of care” to ensure that their Nigerian subsidiary behaves responsibly in its operations.
The farmers involved are Chief Fidelis Oguru and Mr Alali Efanga, from Oruma, a village in Bayelsa State, Chief Barizaa Dooh from Goi, a village in Rivers State, while Elder Friday Alfred Akpan is from Ikot Ada Udo, a village in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

Health for Mother Health Foundation (HOMEF), has declared that said the ruling of the Dutch Appeal Court against Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) over environmental offences offers the people some hope that their fight for justice is yielding results.
The Dutch Appeal Court had ordered SPDC to pay compensation to farmers in some Niger Delta states following the devastation of their farmlands through oil exploitation.
Speaking at a roundtable with the theme: Abolishing Persistent Ecological And Economic Crimes In The Niger Delta, Executive Director of HOMEF, Nnimmo Bassey, said the judgment was another plus to the judgments against a foremost polluter in the Niger Delta.
