 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.

Taribo West: I Won’t Let My Son Visit Nigeria


Former Super Eagles defender Taribo West expressed that he would never advise his son to visit Nigeria due to how the country treats its football heroes posthumously.


In a video shared by News Central on Friday, while speaking at the funeral of former goalkeeper Peter Rufai, the ex-Inter Milan star criticized both the Nigeria Football Federation and Lagos State Government for allegedly neglecting Rufai’s family.


It's discouraging to see that Lagos State and the Nigerian Football Association are placing most of the responsibility on the family. In my gut, it feels like there's nothing worth sacrificing yourself for in this situation. That's why I've decided to take a step back—so I won't break down under pressure. It's truly distressing.


"My mother died, but I didn't cry. When my father took his last breath in front of me, still no tears came. However, when Rufai passed away, I felt goosebumps all over and found myself shedding tears as I spoke to everyone about it. What kind of nation are we living in?" he remarked.


West recalled similar neglect of late football icons like Stephen Keshi, Rashidi Yekini, and Thompson Oliha. He noted that the ongoing disregard for former players deters him from encouraging his children to represent Nigeria in football.


With such an example, I wouldn't even advise my own son to step foot in this country. Get me out of here! Do we have a Football Federation or a Football Association in Lagos State? It's disheartening that this hero, soldier, and football evangelist is treated like this by their own community.


"Can you believe the family is resorting to tears just to beg for money from our groups? It's madness. Please, let me go. I don’t want to open up," he said.


Rufai, affectionately known as "Dodo Mayana," served as Nigeria's first-choice goalkeeper during their victorious 1994 Africa Cup of Nations campaign and participated in the nation's inaugural appearance at the FIFA World Cup that same year. He passed away in July 2025.
