By John Donovan: According to an article published yesterday, the Managing Director of The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria, Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu (right) has blamed well-financed and highly organised criminals for crude oil in the Niger Delta. What he does not say is whether the finance and organisation came from Shell, bearing in mind Shell’s track record in colluding with militant leaders. Sunmonu is said to have called for accountability and transparency in the management of oil revenue. This from a company that falsified its claimed oil and gas reserves, engaged in a related cover-up, paid multimillion dollar fines for corruption and planted spies throughout the Nigerian government.Â
