The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II has been given a gazette for the recognition of ownership and custody of the repatriated Benin artefacts by the Federal Government.

The Federal Government decided the dispute between the Edo State Government and the monarch over the rightful custodian of the artefacts.

A Government Notice No. 25 in Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette No. 57, Volume 110 dated March 28, 2023, and titled, โ€œNotice of Presidential Declaration โ€“ on the Recognition of Ownership, and an order vesting custody and Management of Repatriated looted Benin Artefacts in the Oba of Benin kingdom,โ€ ordered that the โ€œownership of artefacts looted from the ancient Palace of the Oba and other parts of Benin Kingdom be and is vested in the Oba.โ€

It also ordered that the custody of the repatriated artefacts, shall, from wherever and whenever they are brought into Nigeria, be handed over to the Oba as the original owner and custodian of the culture, heritage and tradition of the people of Benin Kingdom in the Edo State.

The gazette also mentioned that the โ€œrepatriated artefacts may be kept within the Palace of the Oba or such other locations within Benin City, or another place that the Oba and the Federal Government of Nigeria may consider secure and safe.โ€

It further ordered that the โ€œOba shall be responsible for the management of all places where the repatriated artefacts are domiciled or located.โ€


It added that the โ€œOba shall work jointly with any recognised national or international institution to ensure the preservation and security of the repatriated artefacts for the benefit of humanity, and repatriated artefacts shall not be taken out of the designated custody without the written consent and authorization of the Oba, and upon such return, the artefacts shall first be inspected and authenticated by the Oba before it is accepted and restored to its designated custody.โ€
