Britain’s High Court began hearing a lawsuit Tuesday filed by more than 40,000 Nigerians demanding oil giant Shell clean up spills that have contaminated water with cancer-causing chemicals, including benzene. The lawsuit was launched by the Ogale and Bille people, who allege Shell has poisoned their water during decades of drilling in the Niger River Delta.
