Billionaire businessman and Chairman, Ocean Marine Solutions Limited (OMSL), Hosa Okunbo is very angry with those tarnishing his image attacking his integrity.

In a statement, he said; “Enough Is Enough. I have through my legal team, written to the Inspector- General of Police, about the activities of one Marvelous Zibiri.”

“Zibiri attempted to denigrate my name through malicious and libelous publications under the guise of playing politics in Edo.”

“Zibiri, is a serving aide of a high political office holder in Edo. I was referred to as a drug baron in the publication, the outcome of a 1995 suit proved otherwise.”

“Proceedings of this case with the suit No: MOT/L/163/95 which was documented and accessible to the public.”

“It is this unfortunate incident of 1995 that my detractors and vicious character assassins have continuously drummed up to tarnish my character, to score cheap political points and for other devious reasons whenever it suits them.”

“I have never been interrogated nor charged, much less convicted for any drug or drug-related issue anywhere in the world.”

“Thus, Mr. Zibiri’s reference to me as a ‘drug baron’ is the height of malice and mischief.”

“Much as they had tried to splash mud in my corner, including some of my businesses, I have not ceased to receive letters of commendations from our partners, who not only appreciate our efforts at adding value and improving the overall good, but urging us to do more.”

“Their words of support and encouragement are definitely inestimable.”

“My reputation built over decades of hard work, dedication, commitment to excellence and the highest standards of forthrightness, cannot be damaged or demeaned by anyone.”

“I have confidence in the ability of the Police through the Inspector-General will investigate the veracity or otherwise of Zibiri’s claims.”

“My legal representatives have also been briefed for possible libel and defamation of character charges.”

“If they ever thought it’s going to be business as usual from this day onward, then, it’s okay to do a test of my resolve to protect and guard jealously my priceless asset: my name.”

“I urge all my associates and partners, not to take these insane and unfounded attacks seriously, because they know what it is: an attempt to deliberately damage a thriving and enduring brand.”

“This is the time to pull the breaks and put all of those mischief-makers in their respective places.”
