Ofehe created a non-governmental group, Hope for the Niger Delta Campaigns (HNDC) located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, in 2005. HNDC was primarily focused on bringing the situation of the people living in the Niger Delta to international awareness. The HNDC was able to facilitate dialogue with militants living in the rivers in the Niger Delta in 2005 in the midst of the conflict between militants and State security agencies. Ofehe took a non- violent approach to his advocacy , and played an important role in bringing an end hostage-taking throughout the Niger Delta. His efforts led to an end to the captivity of Dutch kidnapped oil workers. Ofehe was the key figure in a lawsuit which involved the four Niger Delta farmers brought against Royal Dutch Shell in The Hague with a verdict on January 13, 2013 in favor for one farmer.

Due to his activities to foster peace in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria’s former president, Goodluck Jonathan, extended an invitation to Ofehe.

This led to a Dutch member of Parliament Sharon Gesthuizen and Dutch embassy officials in Nigeria to visit the slums and devastated areas of the Niger Delta. The outcome led to a Dutch parliamentary hearing about Shell in January 2011 at the Dutch Parliament in The Hague with Ofehe alongside speakers from Amnesty International, Friends of the Earth, Cordaid with Shell present at the hearing.
