| Comments | The great-grandson of one of the British soldiers who raided the monarch's palace at Benin in 1897 is meant to be returning some antiquities this month however there is now an indication that the National Commission for Monuments and Museums and the Oba of Benin are at odds over exactly who will receive these items and where. The Oba plans to receive the items formally then turn them over to the museum. |
