Washington, DC, Oct 09, 2008 (This Day/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- By Constance Ikokwu
Company: Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDS/A )
Oil giant, Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum, will go on trial in the United States on February 9, 2009 for alleged complicity in human rights abuses in the Niger Delta, THISDAY has learnt.
The case entitled Wiwa v.
