Legal and other Issues in Repatriating Nigeria's Looted Artefacts

By Babatunde Adebiyi

The book Legal and other Issues in Repatriating Nigeria's Looted Artefacts enumerates the various means of repatriating Nigeria's illicitly exported artefacts. The book hopes to ignite the interest of all in how to use the acclaim of Nigeria's splendid cultural past to kick-start a momentum that will instil patriotism and national pride in Nigerians. The book reveals that the available laws to aid repatriation are blatantly skewed in favour of the nations in possession thus making repatriation of these national heirlooms an onerous task. However the book expresses the hope that an arrangement can be reached by all concerned that can invest in Nigeria and other source nations some pecuniary or proprietary rights in their cultural property.
