Viana recounted the events to MMA Junkie: “When he saw I saw him, he sat next to me, he asked me the time, I said it, and I saw he wasn’t going to leave.

Dianne Oxberry, who had presented the weather on BBC North West Tonight for 24 years, died on Thursday in the Christie, Manchester’s cancer hospital, the broadcaster said.

According to BuzzAngle Music's annual year-end music report, Eminem sold the most albums of any artist in 2018 despite genre. Em's pure album sales totals reached 755,027 units with half of those coming from his 10th studio album, Kamikaze.  The album was also streamed over 760 million times since its release in August. The BuzzAngle Music report also showed Eminem had an overall successful return to the rap game coming in at #4 in the category of Total Consumption only trailing Drake, Post Malone, and XXXTentacion.  Em also rested at the #4 spot in total streams after amassing 2.5 billion in that category.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have apprehended, for alleged money laundering, one Mr. Sani Abdullahi, at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport.

This development is contained in a statement by EFCC spokesperson, Mr Tony Orilade, in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to the spokesperson, the concealed cash was discovered by the operatives of the suspects after a thorough search was carried out on the suspect. The offence is contrary to the Money Laundering Act 2011 (as amended). Orilade, however, said the suspect had been granted administrative bail and would soon be charged to court.
