David Greenhalgh, 68, was convicted in June of 10 counts of involvement in the unlicensed supply of arms, also including AK-47 rifles, battle tanks and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, between 2009 and 2016. Greek national Christos Farmakis, ⁠48, was convicted of nine offences, though he was tried in his absence and his current whereabouts is unknown, Reuters reported. Judge Sally-Ann Hales sentenced both men to 16 years' imprisonment, saying they repeatedly sought to breach arms export bans to sell weaponry for significant profits. Prosecutors said only one charge involved the actual supply of weaponry, with the pair selling a former Ukrainian S-125 Pechora mis...

 Before their years of on-air rivalry, Adam Levine says he instantly liked Blake Shelton at chance meeting, calling him 'awesome' Adam Levine said he liked Blake Shelton right from their first meeting, even before their on-air rivalry began. Speaking ahead of The Voice Season 30 premiere, Levine recalled meeting Shelton at an initial NBC meeting with a group of people.  He said afterward he thought, "That dude was awesome," and was surprised to learn that Shelton would be his co-star.

 APGA Gave Many Igbo Politicians ‘Visa’ to Stardom — Soludo By Gloria Onyeanusi Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has described the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as a political “visa” through which many Igbo politicians rose to prominence. Soludo stated this on Sept. 19 at the headquarters of Ekwusigo Local Government Area in Ozubulu, shortly after commissioning projects executed by the outgoing council chairman, Hon. Chinezie Obi.

He also called for a more strategic approach to national politics by the people of the South-East, saying the region should strengthen its engagement with the Federal Government.
