A Nigerian court ordered the UK to pay £420 million in compensation to families of 21 miners killed in a 1949 colonial-era protest.
A Nigerian court has ordered the UK to pay £420 million in compensation to families of 21 coal miners killed in a 1949 protest at the Iva Valley Mine, ruling the British colonial government unlawfully shot them during a non-violent strike over poor conditions and racial pay disparities.
The Enugu High Court found the killings were extrajudicial, rejected sovereign immunity, and blamed Nigeria’s federal government for failing to seek redress.
The judgment demands £20 million per family, a formal apology, and diplomatic action, marking a major step in postcolonial reparations claims.
