A relation of one of the freed LG worker,alleged that N40 million was paid as ransom before the bandits released the 10 LG workers.
He said the kidnappers promised to release the remaining 3 if 3 motorcycles are made available to them.
“They are yet to meet their families because they are in hospital receiving treatment, ” he said.
