One of the Silverbird Group properties sealed in a receivership action by Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON, has been re-opened.
Normal business activities resumed on Thursday afternoon at the Silverbird Galleria in Abuja following a takeover of the company’s properties in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in the morning.

AMCON announced on Thursday, June 23, 2016 that it had taken over the assets of three of SilverBird Group businesses: Silverbird Galleria Limited, Silverbird Promotions Limited, and Silverbird Showtime Limited.
The three companies are companies are co-owned by Mr. Murray-Bruce and his brothers, Guy Murray-Bruce, Michael Murray-Bruce, as well as his son, Jonathan Murray-Bruce.
The latest move by AMCON came two months after the agency, established in 2010 to manage delinquent loans of big firms and individuals, appointed Muiz Banire as the receiver/manager of the companies, following an alleged failure to meet up loan obligations with Union Bank of Nigeria.
Banire is also the legal adviser of the ruling political party in Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Like someone rightly said, Ben Bruce should settle his issues and AMCON will have no right to still keep Silverbird on lock-down. We should try to take away sentiments and tribalism in our judgement of issues.

Thank GOD for that

I passed in front of the place around 2pm and it was still locked with fierce looking mobile policemen roaming about.

Amcon has also put dirty inscriptions on the walls of the building all around indicating a takeover.

I just pity those who rented business outlets at the galleria. Their loss yesterday was not nice at all in view of the exorbitant amount they pay as rent.

If indeed Amcon reopened the place later yesterday, I'm sure its chiefly because of other business concerns using the place.

At least every businessman or woman in this country will sit up and know watssup. Majority of all this billionaires just collect loans and and don't pay back. That time is over and gone.

Tomorrow, something big is about to happen. Please check my signature.

Am amazed at the manner of some NL who jubilate over this company's predicament, even if u hate BMB wat about the lots of staffs he has, a frnd works with him, but feeds others from its pay.why hating? ?? wen u can't even manage ur recharge card selling shop.

Hypocrisy is always a hilarious story of a 2 faced morooon who only succeeds in fooling his other face that is himself.

This takeover has political undertones... There are other billionaires with non performing loans in this same naija

they say charity begins at home, common sense senator wey no fit handle his own problem well, but he'll have time criticizing the government, i pity his gullible followers on twitter

Yeah there are. People like ifeanyi Ubah and jimoh Ibrahim. Do you know what happened to them? Amcon also did the samething to them. It was reported live here on our dear nairaland. And i still remembered people like you shouting politics and war against the east when it was done to Ubah. But he found a way to resolve with amcon and things are back to normal.

Sebi mr jimoh dey make mouth sey no one fit take him business, but guess what amcon no send am. This happened like 1 week ago. If you no believe me then Google is your friend my friend.

Tell me more

The businesses are not shutting down.. AMCON is taking over management to recover the loans...

This stuff will be difficult for Ben Murray Bruce to resolve..

This sourse sha.... . Saraki news ke?

AMCON taking over a business shouldn't mean shutting the business down. Business has to go on as usual, workers have to still be employed and paid their salaries and clients still have to be served.

Name the other businesses biko.... Before AMCOn takes over a business like this, I'm sure they normally serve a court order and give a sufficient notice for the business owners to pay up. When your notice ends, they come in and take over the business. Last week Jimoh Ibrahim's business was taken over and yesterday it was silverbird; obviously the time given to them to repay has elapsed.

So before you resume your wailings, kindly point out the businesses which are owing, have refused to service their loans, have been given a deadline, the deadline has passed but their business hasn't been taken over yet?

So he don't wanna pay his debt before,thank GOD they sealed it.

They just wanted to remind him of his contract and make sure he fulfill his agreement
