This is the story of Ogoni, an indigenous people at the brink of annihilation.

The exploration and exploitation of oil in Ogoniland by Shell devastated the once lush land.

The Ogoni people cried out for redress, spearheaded by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) and were met with repression, murder, rape and human rights abuses – many were forced to flee as refugees. This book provides a first-hand account of Shell’s oil activities in Ogoniland, including the run-up and aftermath, and explains the reasons for the Ogoni peoples’ struggle and demand for justice.

Simeon B. Kpoturu is an Environmentalist, Human Rights Advocate, and an Author. He was an international campaigner of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) – UK in the 1990s. He was a former treasurer of MOSOP-UK.
