Germany, Nigeria sign accord for return of looted Benin Bronzes

Germany has signed an agreement to hand over the ownership of the Benin Bronzes to Nigeria. The art works, some dating back to the 13th century, are a large collection of sculptures and plaques looted by British soldiers from the Kingdom of Benin in 1897. It will be the single largest repatriation of stolen African artifacts so far.
