Shell oil platforms in the Niger Delta have been shut down. Villagers have seized the platforms, accusing the company of failing to provide promised aid. A nearby Chevron platform also shutdown as a preemptive measure. It is unclear what has happened to the workers who were on the platform at the top of the occupation. Militants have taken hostage oil workers in the past to demand ransom or increased local control of oil wealth.
