The Church of England has committed to returning two Benin Bronzes to Nigeria, according to a report by UK-based Evening Standard.
The bronze statues were gifted to the Archbishop of Canterbury by the former governor of the defunct Bendel State,
Ambrose Alli, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in 1982.
Lambeth Palace said in a statement that the two bronze busts will be donated to Digital Benin, an international project to digitally network the globally dispersed works of art from the former Kingdom of Benin plundered by British troops in 1897. We are currently in discussions with the Edo Museum of West African Art (EMOWAA), via the Legacy Restoration Trust, to arrange this, the statement read.
