CorpWatch, a San Francisco based organisation that "investigates and exposes corporate violations of human rights, environmental crimes, fraud and corruption around the world", recently published an article on their site that should be of interest.

From the article: "THE Ministerial investigation committee into alleged dumping of toxic waste by the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) at Igbeku and Ejekimoni communities of Sapele local government area of Delta State has come up with recommendations for the company to remove and treat in situ the "alleged buried waste" to acceptable statutory levels."
