SocietyCommunity protests toxic, flammable gas leaks in Nigeria’s Niger Delta

Residents of Billé in Nigeria’s Niger Delta have taken to the streets to demand government action over catastrophic pollution. The community says toxic and flammable gas has been leaking from the ground for several months. The leaks have contaminated water and destroyed aquatic life that residents rely on for their livelihoods. The incident is described as the latest in a long series of environmental disasters in the Niger Delta, many of which have largely been blamed on Western oil companies.
