Police in Nigeria say gunmen have attacked a US convoy, killing four people, including two personnel from the US consulate and two police officers.
Three others were kidnapped before their vehicle was set on fire.
The attack took place in south-eastern Anambra state as a rescue and recovery operation is under way.
No US citizens were in the convoy and there were no details regarding the convoy’s presence in the state.
A Nigerian state police spokesperson expressed regret that the convoy entered the state “without recourse to the police in the area or any security agency”.

The US said its mission in Nigeria was working with Nigerian security services to investigate the incident.
Meanwhile, ten more bodies have been recovered in the Kenya’s coastal forest where people are reported to have been made to starve to death after joining a doomsday cult.
This brings to 211 the number of bodies recovered as the police continue investigating the deaths.
Those reported missing at the tracing centers remain at 610.
