by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr

Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin, will on Saturday take a physical possession of another two bronzes as delivered by Cambridge and Aberdeen in the United Kingdom.

The Secretary to the Benin Traditional Council, Frank Irobor, made this known in a statement issued in Benin yesterday, the 15th of February, 2022.

Irabor said that the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, would return the artefacts to Oba of Benin in his palace in strict adherence to the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The general public is hereby invited to join His Royal Majesty in receiving the Benin Bronzes of Okpa “Cockerel” and the Bronze burst of an Oba (Uhunilao) both from Jesus College, Cambridge in Britain and Aberdeen in Scotland, respectively.

“The general public is invited to the physical handing over of the Benin Bronze artefacts to the Oba of Benin.

“All invited guests are to be seated by 11.00 a.m,” the statement read in part.
