“Oil giant Royal Dutch Shell is to pay out $15.5million (£9.7m) to settle a lawsuit over its alleged complicity in the 1995 execution of several Nigerian environmental activists.
In a move announced yesterday, the company acknowledged no wrongdoing in the 1995 hangings of six people opposed to oil exploration in the west African country, including playwright and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa”
