Dr Adeogun was kidnapped on Monday evening while travelling on an official assignment, he was kidnapped alongside two other staff.
A source from the family who requested to be anonymous, revealed that the abductors contacted the family with a private telephone line.
“The kidnappers contacted us and they said we would have to pay the sum of N100m if we want them to release the victims especially the doctor.
“They have even spoken to us twice and asked how much we had been able to raise but we were only begging them to have mercy on us.
“Later, they told us to go and look for N6m and that they have been able to reduce the ransom for us but to source the fund is still a challenge.
“We are also talking to families of the remaining victims too and they can’t raise such fund but the police have asked us to be patient, that they would rescue them.”
Spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, 32 Artillery Brigade, Akure, Mr Ayorinde Omojokun, said that they had deployed men to the forest to secure the release of the victims
