NETHERLANDS TO RETURN OVER 100 LOOTED ARTIFACTS TO NIGERIA

.

The Dutch government has agreed to repatriate 119 artifacts, known as the Benin Bronzes, to Nigeria.
.

These culturally significant items were looted during colonial times and have been housed in a museum in Leiden. The collection includes human and animal figures, plaques, royal regalia, and a bell, all stolen in the 19th century by British soldiers from what is now Nigeria.

.

This restitution is part of a broader movement to address historical injustices and return looted cultural heritage to their countries of origin. Nigerian authorities have welcomed this decision, viewing it as a significant step towards cultural restoration and historical reconciliation.
