According to Reuters, Gunmen attacked the vehicles of a German worker and sub-contractor for a construction company in southwest Nigeria's Ogun state, shooting one dead and kidnapping the other, a senior security source said on Monday.

The attack on the cars carrying the men, who worked with Julius Berger Nigeria but were travelling without their security escorts, occurred on Friday. They were heading to the Ogbere quarry where they worked in Ogun state.

One car was stopped by the gunmen shooting, and when the driver of the other car saw what had happened he attempted to turn around but the attackers also opened fire on that vehicle, killing the German citizen, the security source said.

Police in Ogun state, which lies just outside Nigeria's coastal commercial capital of Lagos, were not immediately available for comment. Julius Berger confirmed the incident but did not mention the nationality of the victims.


"One expatriate, a sub-contractor to Julius Berger, was shot and has subsequently died; the other expatriate, a staff of Julius Berger, has been abducted," the company said in an emailed statement.
"Julius Berger is currently working in close cooperation with the Nigerian authorities to make certain the safe and prompt release of the person abducted ... (and) believes this to be an isolated criminal incident."
