A British aid worker has been killed in Nigeria, the High Commission has confirmed.
Police said kidnappers killed Faye Mooney, a University College of London and London School of Economics graduate, as well as a Nigerian man and abducted three others in the northern city of Kaduna.
Ms Mooney travelled from Lagos as a tourist and was attending a party before the incident happened, police said.
The British High Commission named the woman as MS Mooney and said it was aware of the incident that happened late on Friday.
However, it would not speculate on the motive or nature of attack.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the incident and the kidnappers have yet to be identified, police said.
Ms Mooney was employed in Nigeria by a non-governmental organisation called Mercy Corps.
Her next of kin have been notified, the British High Commission said.
"Some suspected kidnappers armed with dangerous weapons gained entry into a recreational resort called Kajuru Castle in Kajuru local government area shooting sporadically and in the process shot dead two persons, including an expatriate lady, and took away three others," a Kaduna state police spokesman said.
Police did not name the other person killed.
A statement from Mercy Corps said: "On Friday 19 April, 2019, Faye Mooney, a Mercy Corps team member in Nigeria and British national, was tragically killed when gunmen stormed a vacation resort in Kaduna State, Nigeria, where she was visiting on holiday.
"We are utterly heartbroken. Faye was a dedicated and passionate communications and learning specialist who had worked with Mercy Corps for almost two years, devoting her time to making a difference in Nigeria, supporting our teams and the communities we work with to tell their stories of impact, and leading efforts to counter hate speech and violence."
