Kidnappers of Chief Medical Director of the General Hospital, Idoani, Ondo State, Dr. Olufemi Adeogun, have demanded N6m ransom for his release.
It was learnt the kidnappers reduced the ransom from initial N10m demanded.
A family source said the kidnappers called three times before the ransom was reduced.
The source said they have been assured the victims would be released unhurt but they were finding it difficult to raise the ransom.
Adeogun was abducted on Monday evening alongside two other health workers.
The driver of the vehicle they were travelling in was shot in the arm.
Ondo Police spokesman, ASP Tee-Leo Ikoro, did not pick calls to his mobile phone.
However, combined forces of security operatives including hunters and Amotekun Corps are combing the forest to rescue the victims.
