Residents of Kapam community in Kaduna State, Nigeria, took to the streets on Friday, blocking the entrance to the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC). They demanded compensation for the damage caused by a toxic chemical spill from the refinery, which they claim destroyed their farms, killed their livestock, and posed a serious threat to their health. The protesters, primarily women, carried placards highlighting the devastating impact of the spill, emphasizing the health risks posed to children and the lack of support from KRPC. The company has yet to address the protesters’ demands or issue a statement regarding the situation.
