Koko, Delta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Koko is a town in a riverine area of Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, South South Nigeria. One of the remarkable history of the town is that it was home to Nana Olomu, who contributed immensely to its significance and growth. [1] In recent times the small town drew the world's attention after it was discovered that it was one out of several West African ports being used by waste brokers to dump toxic waste. [2]
