Now local ethnic Ijaw leader Muhahid Dokubu-Asari says he has moved on from stealing oil to fighting for the region's independence.
Nigerian court has ordered oil giant Shell and its partners to pay $1.5bn to the Ijaw people of the Delta region. The Ijaw have been fighting since 2000 for compensation for environmental degradation in the oil-rich region. BBC News February 24, 2005 (You will leave this site)
