Yet another conflicting storyline emerged overnight in the perplexing disappearance of  Malaysia Airlines Flight  370 nearly six days ago. After search crews failed to find any trace of debris suggested by Chinese satellite photographs,   Malaysian officials on Thursday denied a newspaper report that suggested the plane may have kept flying for four hours after its last reported contact. The officials acknowledged the search or the jetliner, which disappeared early Saturday, is becoming harder and harder. The report from The Wall Street Journal  said U.S. aviation investigators and national security officials were basing their belief that the missing plane kept flying on data automatically transmitted to the ground from the passenger jet's engines. But Malaysia's acting Transportation Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said at a news conference that the report, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter, was "inaccurate."

Baba Suwe Lamenting in a recent interview, the comic Yoruba Actor said “I have not collected any compensation money from NAFDAC yet. The most painful thing is that I was wrongly accused.

And I believe after all their investigations, they should have released me so I could continue with my career. But the whole situation, the way they treated me actually rubbished my image. My career has been dwindling. A lot of people th

It was expected to arrive in Beijing at 6:30am the same day, after a roughly 4,350 kilometre journey.
