Description
Nigeria's traditional ruler in southern Benin city hosts a day of celebrations in anticipation for the return of two bronze treasures looted during colonial times. The pieces were handed over by Abderdeen and Cambridge universities in a formal ceremony to the Oba or leader of the Kingdom of Benin, whose ancestors reigned over the region when it was ransacked by British soldiers in 1897.
