The Nigerian Government has informed the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the 1,130 Benin Bronze artefacts looted from the Bini Kingdom in 1897 must be returned in a year, under a proposed deal for the full return of the country’s artefacts from Germany.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, during a round-table with German Museum Directors and government officials in Berlin, Germany.
Lai Mohammed also added that the agreement for the repatriation of the Benin Bronzes from Germany must be signed by December 2021.

Full return should be completed in a year’s time, not beyond August 2022,” he told participants at the round-table. ....
