Environmentalists arrested at community meeting on gas flaring
Journalists, community elders, woman and children were among the 25 arrested at a community forum on gas flaring at Iwherekan community, Delta state, Nigeria.
The arrests were made by Nigerian soldiers this Tuesday who held the detainees for five hours before releasing them.
The Iwherekan community is blighted by gas-flaring as a result of oil extraction by Shell.
