In AKUKU-TORU, Hundreds of Nigerians stormed a crude oil facility and gas plant owned by Shell in the Niger Delta on Friday 11/8/2017 demanding jobs and infrastructure development.

Echoing a common complaint in the impoverished swampland that produces most of Nigeria's oil, the protesters said they were not benefiting from the region's oil wealth and wanted an end to the oil pollution that has ruined much of the land.
