The Supreme Court has dismissed an application filed by
Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited seeking to
set aside a January 11, 2019 judgement of the court upholding
damages to the tune of N17bilion awarded against the oil
company.

The apex court had on January 11, 2019 upheld an earlier
judgment by the Court of Appeal, affirming a June 14, 2010
judgement of the Federal High Court which awarded the damages
against Shell over an oil spill at Ejam-Ebulu in Tai Eleme Local
Government Area of River State in 1970.
