Should Nigeria Demand the Return of King Ofesi’s Stolen Crown?

This royal headdress, marked AF 1908,0423.42, was taken from Omago palace in 1908. Its horns symbolize ancestral authority. There is no record that King Ofesi consented or received payment. A freedom of information request (FOI-26088) now seeks the full acquisition file. Without proof of a free transfer, the artifact must be returned. The throne of Omago remains empty without this crown. Should Nigeria demand the repatriation of all royal treasures held abroad?
