Bille Kingdom’s Water Supply Turns Black Amid Oil Pollution
A local water source in Bille Kingdom, Rivers State, was filmed turning from clear to pitch-black in seconds. The footage exposes severe contamination in community waterways. Nollywood veteran Hilda Dokubo highlights that decades of crude-oil spills, gas leaks and artisanal refining have poisoned rivers and wetlands here. Families now collect toxic water and fear for their health. Fishermen have abandoned their nets and household drinking water is under threat. Livelihoods are disappearing and an entire community is calling for urgent intervention. Residents and activists are urging government and community leaders to step in quickly, clean up the waterways and restore safe access to drinking water.
