PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, May 15 (Reuters) – Villagers have occupied a major oil pipeline hub feeding the Bonny export terminal in Nigeria’s southern Niger Delta, forcing Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) to reduce output, activist sources said.
The protest was triggered by a dispute between Shell and the K-Dere community in Ogoniland, where Shell has suspended oil production for 14 years, over compensation.
