What I am demanding is the return of assets," Buhari said at an event, to applause from Nigerians in the audience. 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". But British opposition politicians and anti-corruption campaigners have said Cameron was ill-placed to criticise Nigeria when Britain's own record on combating corruption was less than glorious. 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". He has since noted that the leaders of both countries are working hard to combat corruption.
