The PM was talking about this week’s anti-corruption summit in London.

“We’ve got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain… Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world,” he was overheard saying.

In response, Mr Buhari said his government was deeply “shocked and embarrassed” by the PM’s comments. Speaking through his spokesman, he suggested that Mr Cameron must be referring to Nigeria’s past notoriety for corruption before his coming to power last year.

And a senior Afghan official said the characterisation was “unfair”.
