The rush started, where is the transistor radio...almost 500 people came out to listen to BBC, anxiety in the air...BBC confirms it!

Let's assume many of them didn't believe the online source that broke the news a few days ago that the woman was undergoing treatment for cancer in London, Diezani has spoken about her ill-health in a no-hold
