Four Niger farmers who accused Shell of pipeline leaks that destroyed their farms in the Delta have won their 13 year battle in a Dutch court.
An appeal court in the Netherlands ruled that the oil giant should pay compensation for leaks from a pipeline in the Niger Delta which covered an area equal to 60 football pitches.
Sky’s Ivor Bennett takes a look at what this case means for the future of Shell and the Delta residents.
