Alpha Petroleum (Pty) Ltd., a Namibian company in the oil and gas business, as well as offshore diamond mining, has refuted claims of having a connection with Alpha Energy Nigeria.
This is in response to an article that was published in NewsGuide Africa and Business Express Namibia claiming that Alpha Petroleum has engaged Alpha Energy Nigeria and their representative to initiate offshore diamond mining operations under contract with Namdeb.
Ashley Brendell, representing Alpha Petroleum, said in a statement that these claims are false and misleading.
“These articles contain significant inaccuracies and misrepresentations, which are both damaging and completely unfounded,” said Brendell.
He explained that Alpha Petroleum is indeed in a contractual partnership with Namdeb, but Alpha Energy Nigeria is not involved in their operations.
According to Brendell, the company referenced in the articles is not affiliated with Alpha Petroleum in any capacity.
He added that the media houses that released the articles have not attempted to reach out to Alpha Petroleum for comment or verification of the claims prior to publication.
“In response to these false claims, Alpha Petroleum has initiated legal proceedings to protect our reputation and interests. We respectfully request that media organisations refrain from perpetuating unverified and baseless allegations. We also urge the public to allow the legal process to take its course and not be swayed by sensationalist reporting,” he said.
