(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 were traveling without their security escorts, occurred on Friday. They were heading to the Ogbere quarry west of Lagos in Ogun state, where they worked with Julius Berger Nigeria.
Nigeria, Africa's largest economy and leading energy producer, is one of the world's worst countries for kidnapping, mostly in the oil-producing states to the south.
