Falana Writes IG, Accuses Shell of Importing Arms
By Tokunbo Adedoja, 06.09.2008
Mr Femi Falana, counsel to the leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), Mr. Henry Okah, who is facing treason charges before a Jos Federal High Court, has written to the Inpector General of Police, Mr. Mike Okiro, alleging that the Nigerian Army and Shell Petroleum Development Company Nigeria Limited are involved in the proliferation of arms and ammunition in the Niger Delta.
In the letter titled: “Request for Certified True Copy of Approval given to the Shell Petroleum Development Company Nigeria Limited to Import Arms and Ammunition to the Niger Delta”, Falana applied for a certified true copy of an alleged approval dated 20th July, 1994 given to Shell to import arms and ammunition to the Niger Delta.
Falana, who hinged his application on Section 36 (6) of the 1999 constitution, said he traced the proliferation of arms and ammunition in the region to Shell and the Army in the course of preparing his client’s defence.
The letter reads:
“We are Solicitors to Henry Okah who is currently standing trial for treason, treasonable felony and related offences at the Federal High Court.
“Specifically, our client is alleged to have committed treason by providing 250,000 assault rifles, General Purpose Machine Guns, Rocket Propelled Launchers/Canisters, Bazookas and assorted ammunition to armed groups” in the Niger Delta to levy war against the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“However, in the course of preparing our client’s defence, we traced the proliferation of arms and ammunition in the Niger Delta to the Nigerian Army and the Shell Petroleum Development Company Nigeria Limited.
“In the circumstances, we hereby apply for a Certified True Copy of the Approval dated 20th July 1994 given to the Shell Petroleum Development Company Nigeria Limited to import arms and ammunition to the Niger Delta.
“It is hoped that this application will be favourably considered having regard to Section 36(6) of the Constitution which provides that every person charged with a criminal offence shall be entitled to be given “adequate time and facilities required for the preparation of his defence”.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
