Dubai, Jun 23: The Indian employee of a Dubai-based company was killed in a shootout in Nigeria on Saturday.
Nirmal Narang, deputed to Nigeria for the last one-and-half-years, got caught in a crossfire between rival gangs in Festac town, Lagos and was shot in the head while travelling in a car with his colleagues.
He was killed hours before he was scheduled to board a flight to Dubai where his wife and daughter reside, a media report said here.
Narang, who originally hailed from Navi Mumbai, had been the sales representative of an auto spare parts company in Dubai for over six years.
Narang's brother, who lives in London, has flown to Lagos to take the body back to Mumbai, family sources told 'The Gulf Today'.
A colleague of Narang said company officials in Lagos were also making arrangements for repatriating the body.
