IT was another joyous day for the palace of the Oba of Benin as Omo N: Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, yesterday, received two artefacts, a mother hen and a bronze plaque, from the University of Iowa Museum, United States of America.

BENIN CITY—

The Oba, while receiving the items in his palace, said former President Muhammadu Buhari made the ownership of artefacts very clear through his gazette before he left office. The royal father said the artefacts were not just items but that they have spiritual implications, which mortals cannot understand and appealed to the political leaders to help preserve the traditions and customs of the land.
