Following the recent visit of the Welsh monarch, Prince Charles to Nigeria, the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has implored the Prince to add his voice towards returning the artifacts that were stolen from his empire.
He made statement when Prince Charles paid him a courtesy visit in his Benin palace. According to him:
“Suffice to say that Nigerians in general and Benin people in particular will be most delighted to have your royal highness throw his royal weight behind our efforts to have some of our ancient artifacts that were taken in 1897 from the Royal Court of Benin returned to Benin to establish Oba Palace Museum for the promotion of tourism in Benin City, Edo State.”
Well said, Your Highness!
