Description
To cheers and a trumpet fanfare, a Cambridge University college hands a bronze statue looted in the 19th century back to Nigerian officials, in the first such move by a UK institution. Sonita Alleyne, the head of Jesus College, has given the elaborately carved cockerel known as "Okukor" to a Nigerian delegation. Okukor was among thousands of African artefacts stolen from the continent during British colonial rule. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
