T.A Orji, son plan to attack The Sun offices

The Sun publish­ing Limited has raised the alarm over an alleged plan by former gover­nor of Abia State, Chief T.A. Orji and his son, Chinedu to instigate vi­olent attacks on offices of the company in Abia and other South-east states.

In a statement issued yes­terday, The Sun manage­ment drew the attention of the public to the alleged plan, which is coming on the heels of publication in Daily Sun last week of a petition writ­ten to the Economic and Fi­nancial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alleging that the former governor, his wife and son squandered N474bn of Abia State funds.

The Sun management stated that publication of the petition filed by The Save Abia Initiative for Change was based on the principle of fair comment.

It condemned the resort to barbarism in a civilized democracy by people who had been privileged to oc­cupy high political offices in the land.

The company also drew the attention of law enforce­ment agencies to the pos­sible attack on its premises and sought for protection to avert destruction of lives and property.
