‘Compensation for Bodo oil spill confirmation of guilt’

A statement issued by the NGO said that the payment was an admission of guilt by the company hence the need to pay the community a befitting compensation.
“When compared to what polluting oil companies pay elsewhere for their ecological crimes, HOMEF sees the compensation which will amount to about N600,000 for each of the plaintiffs with the balance going for community projects – school blocks and health centres – as inadequate for the severity of damage done,” the statement signed by Cadmus Atake, Project/Communications Officer, HOMEF said.
