The UK Supreme Court has ruled that oil-polluted Nigerian communities can sue Shell in English courts.

The decision is a victory for the communities after a five-year battle, and overturns a Court of Appeal ruling.

The Niger Delta communities of more than 40,000 people say decades of pollution have severely affected their lives, health and local environment.

The oil giant had argued it was only a holding company for a firm that should be judged under Nigerian law.

Shell described the legal ruling as disappointing.

What does the ruling say?
The Supreme Court, the UK's final appeal court for civil cases, ruled that the cases brought by the Bille community and the Ogale people of Ogoniland against Royal Dutch Shell were arguable and could proceed in the English courts.

Royal Dutch Shell did not dispute that pollution had been caused, but argued it could not be held legally responsible for its Nigerian subsidiary. Shell is responsible for about 50% of the delta's oil production.

Last year the Court of Appeal agreed with the company, but the Supreme Court said on Friday that that decision was flawed.

The communities, represented by law firm Leigh Day, argued Shell owed a common law duty of care to individuals who had suffered serious harm as a result of the systemic health, safety and environmental failings of one of its overseas subsidiaries.

The Niger Delta pollution has continued despite years of promises by successive governments in Nigeria to clean it up. In 2016 President Muhammadu Buhari launched an ambitious clean-up operation in Ogoniland. The work is ongoing but residents say little progress has been made.

Continued oil spills from the activities of multinationals have also cast doubt on the impact of the clean-up exercise. "Things are getting worse by the day," Celestine Akpobari, an environmental activist from Ogoni, told the BBC.

The region provides most of Nigeria's government revenues but the communities say successive governments have neglected them. Mr Akpobari says people can no longer fish or farm because of the devastation. "People are dying, there are strange diseases and women are having miscarriages" from the pollution, he says. But the communities and campaigners say the recent court victory gives them hope they will see justice.

How bad is the pollution?
In 2011 the UN concluded it would take 30 years to clear up the vast amounts of pollution in the Niger Delta.

The Ogale community of about 40,000 people are mostly fishermen or farmers who rely on Ogoniland's waterways. But pollution has all but destroyed fishing, turning their lush home into a toxic wasteland.

There have been at least 40 oil spills from Shell's pipelines since 1989, lawyers say Shell's records reveal.

UN scientists have found an 8cm (3 inch) layer of refined oil floating on top of water that supplies the community's drinking wells - vastly higher than is legally permitted.

The water is now too dirty for people to drink. Despite promises to provide clean water, people must often either shell out for bottled water or drink from contaminated sources.

Thick crusts of ash and tar cover the land where oil spills have caused fires. Planting new vegetation to replace burnt crops or plants is almost impossible.

Farmer Damiete Sanipe describes a wasteland where the trees and the mangrove have been destroyed.

"The habitat is gone, the river we used to swim in is gone. For a coastal community whose life revolved around the water, it's all gone.

"I don't think money can bring back what we have lost. Even if they want to revive the mangrove, it will take more than 30 years which is a long time."

On Friday Leigh Day lawyer Daniel Leader said the ruling was a "watershed" for "impoverished communities seeking to hold powerful corporate actors to account". The firm said the amount of compensation sought had yet to be determined.

What does Shell say?
In a statement Shell said: "The spills at issue happened in communities that are heavily impacted by oil theft, illegal oil refining, and the sabotage of pipelines."

It said that, despite the causes of the pollution, its subsidiary had worked hard to both clean up and prevent spills.

It's the latest in a run of international and domestic law suits over Shell's oil extraction in Nigeria.

In 2015 it accepted responsibility for two spills and agreed to pay £55m ($76M) to the Bodo community and assist in the clean-up.

In 2006 a Nigerian court ordered the company and partners to pay $1.5bn to the Ijaw people of Bayelsa state for environmental degradation in the area.

In an ongoing civil case, the widows of four environmental activists executed by Nigeria's military regime in 1995 are suing Shell for allegedly providing support to the military. Shell denies the claims.

Europe's biggest oil firm sets out carbon neutral plans
The decision on Friday is the latest case to test whether multinational companies can be held accountable for the acts of overseas subsidiaries.

Amnesty International welcomed the ruling. Mark Dummett, director of Amnesty International's Global Issues Programme, said the fight had not yet been won, but added: "This landmark ruling could spell the end of a long chapter of impunity for Shell and for other multinationals who commit human rights abuses overseas."

Leigh Day also represented 2,500 Zambian villagers in their pollution case against UK-based mining giant Vedanta Resources. Last month the Supreme Court ruled in their favour and they won an undisclosed settlement.

Herdsmen have right to carry arms, forest belongs to nobody, PDP governor declares

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has said herdsmen are not to be blamed for bearing firearms. The Nation reports that the governor said they are only protecting themselves against cattle rustlers who attack, kill and take away their possessions.

Legit.ng gathered that the governor spoke as a special guest of honour at the launch of the inaugural edition of the Bauchi correspondents’ chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ)’s magazine titled ‘Correspondents’ Watch” on Thursday, February 11.

Governor Bala Mohammaed of Bauchi state said that herdsmen have the right to carry arms. It would be recalled a popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, had issued a quit notice to herdsmen accused of sundry crimes in the Ibarapa area of Oyo state and enforced same. Granting amnesty to bandits:

Lai Mohammed defends Zamfara governor Reacting to the development, Mohammed said the herdsmen have the right to live anywhere as Nigerians, adding the forests where they graze their cows belong to nobody. He said: "The west doesn’t want to accommodate other tribes but we are accommodating your tribe in Bauchi.

We have Yorubas who have stayed in Bauchi for over 150 years, some of them have been made permanent secretaries in Gombe, Bauchi and Borno. "But because the Fulani man is practising the tradition of transhumans, pastoralism, he has been exposed to cattle rustlers who carry a gun, kill him and take away his cows he has no option to carry AK 47 because the government and the society are not protecting him. It’s the fault of the government. ”Nobody owns any forests in Nigeria, it’s owned by Nigeria. Under section 23, 24 and 25 of the constitution, every Nigerian is free to stay anywhere.

Anybody can speak how but we are only exercising restraint.
