Summary

Description

9 July 2011. Ten feet high, steel sculpture of a Nigerian Bus parked behind the Bernie Grant Arts Centre, Tottenham.

It's a memorial to Ken Saro-Wiwa the writer and campaigner against the exploitation and environmental degradation of the land and waters of the Niger Dekta by the multinational petroleum industry - especially the Shell Oil company. He and eight other Ogoni activists were executed by the (then) Nigerian Military Government.

The sculpture is by Sokari Douglas-Camp, The complete wording reads: "I accuse the oil companies of practising genocide against the Ogoni"
