Chinese worker shot dead in Nigeria

Gunmen have shot dead a Chinese national who was working as a chef for a construction company in Nigeria's troubled northeastern Borno state, a company official said Monday.
"One of our Chinese workers, a cook, was killed by some gunmen who stormed the livestock section of the market where he had gone to buy a lamb in the company of two local staff,'' said Albert Audu, of the China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CCG), adding that the attack occurred Sunday, AFP reports.
