The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has expressed delight over the return of two artefacts by the German government. The artefacts, wooden and bronze stools, were brought to the palace by the Director General, National Commission for Museum and Monument, Olugbile Holloway, on Saturday.

Oba Ewuare II thanked Holloway for the surprise, saying, “You don’t know what you have done, but I am really grateful for this gesture.” The Oba gave Holloway a large chunk of white chalk to further show appreciation.

The artefacts had been with the Federal Government since 2022 and were handed over to the Oba on Saturday. Holloway said the return of the artefacts marked the beginning of better things to come.

Okay.ng had reported how the German government returned the artefacts following an agreement between Germany and the Nigerian Government, as part of efforts to restore cultural heritage.
