Locals seize Nigeria oil facility

Angry Ogoni youths have taken over an oil facility in Nigeria’s volatile Niger Delta region leading to cuts in oil production, officials say.
The villagers, angered by oil spills from pipelines running through their community say they will not leave until they are paid compensation.

The protests have led Royal Dutch Shell Plc to reduce crude oil production by 170,000 barrels per day.
