Mobee Slave Museum Badagry, Badagry, Nigeria
One of three slave museums on Marina Road, the Mobee Royal Family Original Slave Relics Museum is filled with manacles that slave traders used to restrict the enslaved.
“The mouth lock is to clip the lips together; then the iron brand is used to put a hole through their lips; then it is locked with a padlock,” says Tunji Ahmed, a cocurator, who places a clip on his mouth to show visitors what this would look like.
From the Mobee museum, head east along Marina Road, and the First Storey Building is just two minutes away.
