But the president, on Wednesday morning said he does not want any apology, but expected the UK to help him reclaim Nigerian assets that had been fraudulently stripped from the country.
Buhari said: “I am not going to demand an apology from anybody. What I am demanding is a return of assets … This is what I am asking for. What would I do with an apology? I need something tangible.”
