After British corruption slip, Nigeria demands stolen assets back

LONDON | BY GEORGINA COOPER AND ESTELLE SHIRBON

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari demanded on Wednesday that Britain return assets held there by corrupt Nigerians, pointing the finger back at London after Britain's prime minister suggested Nigeria was "fantastically corrupt".

David Cameron's remarks during a conversation with Queen Elizabeth, caught on camera on Tuesday, have so far dominated the build-up to a global anti-corruption summit he is hosting on Thursday which Buhari will attend.

During a pre-summit event in London, Buhari was asked to respond to Cameron's comment that Nigeria and Afghanistan were "possibly two of the most corrupt countries in the world".

He has since noted that the leaders of both countries are working hard to combat corruption.

"I am not going to demand any apology from anybody. What I am demanding is the return of assets," Buhari said at an event, to applause from Nigerians in the audience.
