The Digest:

Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar and broadcaster Piers Morgan have publicly sparred after the Minister demanded their interview about religious persecution in Nigeria be aired without any edits.

Key Points:
  • Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar appeared on Piers Morgan's 'Uncensored' show.
  • Tuggar requested that the full interview be aired unedited to prevent "distorted" truths.
  • Piers Morgan responded that the demand demonstrated the Minister was "panicking."
  • Tuggar retorted he was "as cool as a cucumber," mocking a research error by Morgan.
  • The minister's reply referenced Morgan's alleged confusion over the "Chibok boys."
