Seven foreign workers have been kidnapped in a raid on a compound in northern Nigeria.
It has been reported that a group of men armed with guns and explosives attacked the camp of a Lebanese construction company, snatching a British man along with Greek, Italian and Lebanese co-workers.
The gunmen first shot and killed a guard at the camp, which is located in Jama'are, a rural town in the Bauchi state.
It is suspected that the group behind the kidnapping is radical Islamist group 'Boko Haram', which campaigns for Sharia law to be implemented across the country.
