German authorities on Friday returned to Nigeria the first two of more than 1 100 priceless sculptures known as the Benin Bronzes that were looted by Europeans in the 19th century.

British soldiers looted some 5 000 of the artifacts -intricate sculptures and plaques dating back to the 13th century onwards – when they invaded the Kingdom of Benin, in what is now southwestern Nigeria, in 1897.“This is a story of European colonialism. We should not forget that Germany played an active role in this chapter of history,” said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at a Berlin ceremony marking the transfer.

“I am delighted to be part of this auspicious event which,in my opinion, will go down as one of the most important days in the celebration of African cultural heritage,” said Dada.
