 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. Homeland Security initially declined the case because the amount did not meet the federal threshold, a...

 BENUE ASSEMBLY REJECTS GOV. ALIA'S REQUEST TO SCREEN COMMISSIONER NOMINEES


8th August, 2025      |     9:28 PM 


The House resolved not to honour any further correspondence from the executive arm until the governor complied with their demands, including the immediate provision of official vehicles to affected members.


The Benue State House of Assembly has rejected a letter from Governor Hyacinth Alia requesting the screening and confirmation of commissioner nominees for the state executive council, citing unresolved issues between the legislature and the executive.


The decision was reached during Friday’s plenary, presided over by the Speaker, Hyacinth Dajoh.


According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Terver Zamber, the House acted following a motion of urgent public importance moved by Shimapever Jiji.


Jiji informed members that the governor had consistently failed to honour the Assembly’s resolutions and had treated the legislature with what he described as “total disregard”.


Seconding the motion, Thomas Dugeri supported the House’s stance, stressing that Alia had not addressed several critical issues previously raised by the Assembly.


“The governor has no respect for this hallowed chamber,” He said.


Other members who contributed to the debate clarified that the decision was not intended to stall governance but to uphold the Assembly’s independence and compel the executive to fulfil its obligations.


They argued that while they are not opposed to the screening of commissioners, the governor must first demonstrate commitment to prior agreements and respect the House’s resolutions.


The lawmakers listed their demands, including the immediate provision of official vehicles to affected members and the enforcement of suspension notices issued to the chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), the chairman of Otukpo Local Government Council, and the executive secretary of the Benue State Sports Lottery and Marketing Board.


The House resolved not to honour or entertain any further correspondence from the executive arm until the governor complied with their demands.
