 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.

 Trafficked 28-year-old Nigerian woman to return from Iraq


A 28-year-old trafficked Nigerian woman, Eniola Isaac, is set to return to Nigeria on Friday (today), following the intervention of officials from the Nigerian mission in Jordan, which oversees Iraq.

A statement released on Thursday through the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission’s official X.com handle disclosed the development.

A report on Wednesday revealed that Isaac was allegedly lured to Iraq under false promises of a better life.

After reportedly suffering nearly two years of harsh abuse, severe physical assaults, and humiliating mistreatment from her employer in Iraq, the victim pleaded with the Nigerian authorities to expedite her safe return home to prevent further harm or possible death.

Announcing the victim’s repatriation, NiDCOM emphasised that Isaac’s situation underscored the rising alarm over the trafficking of Nigerians to Iraq through deceptive promises.

The commission further stated that an inquiry was ongoing regarding “another incident involving a Nigerian who travelled to Iraq for work as a carer and died under suspicious circumstances.”

The statement noted that the Nigerian government had requested an autopsy to ascertain the cause of death.

The commission, however, cautioned other Nigerians about “dishonest agents who are deceitfully enticing young Nigerian women to Iraq with false and malicious promises, many of which expose the unsuspecting victims to risks of slavery and prostitution upon arrival in the country.”
