The leadership and people of Ogbanabou Federated Communities‑Diebiri Clan, Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State have issued a rejoinder to a recent press statement by Kalm Marine and Petroleum Services Ltd alleging persistent attacks by a “non‑existing community.”
In a statement signed by Community Chairman Alex Ebi Fenimine and other officials, the community categorically denied the claim, describing the allegation as false, fabricated, and a deliberate attempt to malign the reputation of Ogbanabou Federated Communities.
The community, which asserts original ownership and occupancy of the land where Kalm Marine and Petroleum Services operates, said it has the full authority and mandate of its elders, leaders, women, youths, and members to respond.
They expressed dismay that, as peaceful and law‑abiding citizens, they are being subjected to cyber‑ridicule, bullying, and humiliation through social‑media publications.
The statement emphasized that the negative publicity is an embarrassment, constitutes character assassination, and misleads the public and security agencies.
The community demanded that the misconception be cleared.

We the leadership and the esteemed people of the ancient OGBANABOU
FEDERATED COMMNUNITIES- DIEBIRI CLAN IN WARRI SOUTH WEST

First and foremost, it is necessary for us to quickly correct the false, and
mischievously fabricated online social media-publication peddled by the
supposed management of Kalm marine and Petroleum Services Ltd.
It is with utmost dismay that we the people of Ogbanabou are peaceful
and law abiding citizens of the federal republic of Nigeria, why should we be subjected to such serious cyber social media-ridicule, vicious, bullying
and humiliation, perpetrated by the supposed management of KALM
MARINE AND PETROLEUM SERVICES LTD, particularly as it pertain to

2025. We consider this negative publication not just an embarrassment,
but a deformation and character assassination as this falsehood has
brought to the leadership and the esteemed people of Ogbanabou

general public and the security agencies, it is therefore imperative that
