 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.

PDP DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE EXPLAINS WHY WIKE, ATIKU, OTHERS CAN'T BE SUMMONED. (PHOTO).


 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Disciplinary Committee has shed light on why it hasn't summoned certain party chieftains, including Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, to appear before it. According to Chairman Chief Tom Ikimi, the committee's mandate is limited to addressing petitions formally submitted against party members.¹


Ikimi emphasized that the committee doesn't act on allegations published in newspapers, but rather relies on official petitions. This means that unless a formal complaint is filed, the committee won't take action, regardless of when the alleged infractions occurred.


This clarification comes amid calls for disciplinary action against Wike and others over their role in the 2023 presidential election. Wike faced criticism for leading the G5 governors who worked against PDP's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.


In related news, the committee was set to hear petitions against former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom and National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu. However, both individuals failed to appear, citing health challenges and non-receipt of petitions, respectively. Despite having evidence that the petitions were served, the committee has decided to defer the hearing to March 4 to ensure a fair hearing.


"We believe all will be well, and the committee is going to be fair to everyone," Ikimi assured.
