A United States museum, has concluded plans to hand over looted Benin Bronzes to Oba of Benin, Ewuare II.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Oba, Osaigbovo Iguobaro, said in a statement yesterday that the Benin monarch would be receiving the artefacts looted from the Oba palace over a century ago, today (Monday).

Osaigbovo said that defenders of Edo heritage and well-wishers of the royal father were expected to be at the palace by midday.

The development comes months after the government of Sweden similarly promised to return 39 pieces of Benin artefacts in its museum to Oba of Benin.
