    A Benin Bronze artefact will return to Nigeria after being at Jesus College, Cambridge, for over 100 years.

    The statue of a cockerel, known as the "Okukur", was taken by British colonial forces in 1897 and given to the college in 1905 by the father of a student.

    A ceremony has been held at the college to sign the handover documents.
