LONDON—A Briton kidnapped in Nigeria last month has been killed with three others released after negotiations, Britain’s Foreign Office said on Monday.

The four Britons were taken hostage three weeks ago and although the British High Commission, with help from the Nigerian authorities secured the release of three of them, Ian Squire was killed, the Foreign Office (FCO) said in a statement.
