 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

OBASA'S REMOVAL FOLLOWED DUE PROCESS- EX-LAWMAKER. (PHOTO).


 Obasa's removal followed due process - Ex-lawmaker


Former Deputy Majority Leader of the Lagos State House of Assembly Olumuyiwa Jimoh has expressed his doubts in former Speaker Obasa's legal intelligence and knowledge in government affairs.


Jimoh in an interview with the channels TV explained that Obasa's claim on his removal not following due process is baseless as more than two-third of the house were in support of his removal.


He also emphasised that the process of removing a Speaker and Governor is stipulated in the section 92 subsection 2 of the Nigerian Constitution, which states that states a Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly can be removed from office by a resolution of the House of Assembly. The resolution must be passed by a two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly members


He said: "You can understand his predicament, his predicament is that someone who has been in office for the past 10 years, and suddenly all those benefits and privileges have been withdrawn, so he feels like committing suicide.

He's committing suicide in the sense that the point is making is out of point, the removal of the speaker is only by the two-third of the majority of the honourable member and they're more than two-third, and the allegations were itemized and characterised from financial misappropriation, no respect for merit and tradition of the house and high-handedness of fellow colleagues who made you speaker.


"It is these people that have the right, prerogative and authority, to remove you, which they're more than two-third.


"Obasa claims to be a lawyer, which I don't believe in a lawyer that I can't give a case to litigate for me as a person. He claimed that it was not due process, what due process do you need to remove a speaker, the due process is done since two-third of the honourable members, more than two-third.


"The erroneous impression got to his head that the removal of governor is the same method you can use to remove speaker which is not, it is stipulated in the constitution section 92, subsection 2 states it clearly. You can be speaker in the morning and your fellow colleague feels the cap you put on."
