 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.

 ‎‎We the Fulani people are been maltreated in Umueri, Anambra --Alhaji Gidado Siddiki

‎The leader of the Fulani commu­nity in Anambra State and Depu­ty Director-General of Miyetti Al­lah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, has raised alarm over what he saw as the constant and incessant intimidations and molestations of their members by vigilante operatives in Umueri community, Anambra-East coun­cil area of the state.

‎Alhaji Siddiki who spoke in an interview with news from daily Independent alleged that vigilante operatives used to arrest their members without any justifi­able reasons, further alleging that anytime the security opera­tives saw a Fulani herdsman on motorcycle, they would stop him, pick him, maltreat him and blind­fold him until they extorted huge sums of money from him before they released him.

‎He lamented some of their mem­bers reported to him that they were blindfolded from 5.pm to 8.pm until huge sums of money were extorted from them by the vigilante operatives in Umueri before they eventually released them without handing them over to the police.

‎He therefore stressed that so many of their members are re­porting to him that they are being maltreated by vigilant men while carrying out their legitimate cat­tle rearing activities in Umueri community, even as he appealed to the state government to inter­vene to save their members from unnecessary intimidations and maltreatments from vigilante men in Umueri and other parts of Anambra-East Local Govern­ment Area.
