Looted artefacts: FG asserts supremacy over Edo, Oba of Benin

Share
The 1,130 Benin bronzes Germany plans to return to Nigeria in 2022 will not go to either the Edo State Government or the Benin Royal Palace.
When the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced the launch of a campaign for the return and restitution of Nigeria’s looted/smuggled artefacts in 2019, he would not have expected the massive windfall.
Mohammed had warned that the FG was coming after foreign countries keeping stolen artefacts from Nigeria using all available legal and diplomatic means. He explained that Nigeria was relying on UNESCO and ECOWAS Article 4 of the UNESCO 1970 Convention most nations subscribe to ensure all stolen items are returned to the country.
