Chief Chukwunyere Nwabuko,a member of the legal team for Orji's son briefed journalists on this matter in Umuahia on Thursday. The legal practitioner revealed that the libelous publication was contained on page 21 of the March 10,2014 edition of The Sun newspaper which reads that, ''it is not a secret affair as his affair as his terrorist activities in the state are fully documented.''
