Nigeria recovers stolen artifact intercepted in Mexico

The recovered sculpture is of a man sitting cross-legged, wearing headgear and holding an object. It has been confirmed to be an ancient sculpture that originated from Ife, Osun State, South-West Nigeria. Onyeama said that the government remains unswerving in ensuring that the cultural artifacts stolen from the country and scattered in different parts of the world are recovered and returned. He said the process of recovering the artifact started in 2017, when the former Nigerian Ambassador of Nigeria to Mexico, Ambassador Aminu Alhaji Iyawa, incidentally saw a bronze head suspected to be of Nigerian origin at the Benito Juarez International Airport, in Mexico City.
