Thank you.
My colleague asked about mining interests. I am interested in the issue of oil, because Nigeria is a very large petroleum state and there have been many allegations over the years about environmental abuse and the dislocation of people.
A report was done in the last decade on how Royal Dutch Shell was arming gangs in Nigeria that were targeting, torturing and killing people living in the creeks and swamplands of the Niger delta. It was paying, according to one report, over $159,000 to a group linked to militia violence.
We've been talking about the religious fundamentalists, the terror gangs and the criminal gangs targeting the people. Ms. Uzoma-Iwuchukwu, what about the allegations that companies benefiting from the massive oil wealth are engaged in targeting and human rights abuses?
