An historic bronze statue, looted from Nigeria more than a century ago, is on its way home from the United Kingdom.
The University of Aberdeen had held the Benin bronze sculpture depicting the head of a king for decades.
Now it is become the third European institution to return an artefact in the past two days.
Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris reports from Abuja, Nigeria.
