Armed militants have inflicted damage on the oil industry, and in a sign of international concern, the British Prime Minister has offered Nigeria assistance. Ankkio Briggs is a prominent activist campaigning in the area. She accuses big oil companies and the Nigerian government of exploiting her people. Stephen Sackur asks her if violence and criminality undermine her cause.
