The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has taken over the properties of Ben Murray Bruce, top businessman and lawmaker representing Bayelsa east senatorial district.
Citing an order from a federal high court in Lagos, the agency sealed three companies operated by the famous Bruce family.
The companies are: Silverbird Galleria Limited located at 133 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos; Silverbird Promotions Limited, Plot No 1161, Central Area Cadastral Zone AOO, Abuja; and Silverbird Showtime Limited Abonnema Wharf Road and Abali Park in Port Harcourt City of Rivers State.
The companies are said to be indebted to the tune of 11billion taken from Union Bank.
