A close-up on some of the damage in one of the villages
Award Winning Journalist - Ayo Johnson was in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria last June where he saw some of the devastation going on in the area. Also supporting his production was Nigeria-based journalist Alkasim Abdulkadir.
In this documentary scripted, produced and presented by Ayo Johnson; the effects of Shell's actions are crystal-clear.
Oil pollution has ravaged large swathes of the Niger Delta, with Shell - the biggest oil producer in the country being accused as the worst culprit.
The UN's environmental agency released a report in 2011, saying decades of oil pollution in the Niger Delta's Ogoni land region may require the world's biggest ever clean-up and could take up to 30 years.
