Oba Akenzua II (1933–1978) was an Edo king (or Oba), son and heir to Oba Eweka II (1914–1933). In 1936, Oba Akenzua began the movement to return back to Nigeria the Benin Bronzes stolen in 1897 in the 1897 Punitive Expedition (see Benin Expedition of 1897). During his reign, only two of the 3000 royal court bronzes were returned.
