The seven of them - five foreigners and two Nigerians, were said to have been released on Sunday, June 26, after an undisclosed amount of money was paid to secure their release.
The armed militants abducted the workers in the Cross River capital last Wednesday on their way to the office and in the process killed the driver of one of the vehicles that conveyed the workers.
It was gathered the workers were released with injuries.
“All the seven of them were released in the early hours of today with injuries. Nobody knows why they were injured but they are receiving medical attention,” a source told the newspaper.
Report said the company has become a ghost community since the abduction as workers have become scared to go to work.
