Gunmen in an unmarked Golf Volkswagen vehicle on Wednesday killed two Chinese nationals at a road site project in Benishiekh town in Borno state, north east Nigeria.
Benisheikh is 72 kilometres west of Maiduguri, the state capital.
Eyewitnesses said the gunmen ambushed the Chinese engineers working on the Damaturu-Maiduguri dual carriageway and bridge and went away with the SUV belonging to the Chinese engineers after killing them.
Confirming the incident, the Police Commissioner in Borno state, Yuguda Abdullahi, said no arrest had been made in connection with the incident, adding that investigations had commenced.
