THE Federal Government has said 144 of 486 intercepted travellers to Abia State have been released. The coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, disclosed this on Wednesday, while briefing the press on the current security situation in the country.

Dozens of Boko Haram insurgents stormed our checkpoint at Bulabulin. The terrorists came in a convoy of over 30 vehicles, mounted with anti-aircraft guns,” he said. On how he escaped, he said: “I was at the checkpoint when the terrorists came. We tried our best, but they had advantage over us. They had anti-aircraft guns and we had Ak-47 rifles not fully loaded.  “When we realised that they had taken over the place, some of us escaped to Maiduguri and other places, but many could not make it.  “As I am talking to you, 16 bodies of our colleagues have been brought to Maiduguri, this is besides those that sustained injuries
