The Assets Management Company of Nigeria, AMCON on Thursday took over the assets of Silverbird Group, owned Nigerian Senator, Ben Bruce.

Bruce’s companies under the group in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja were sealed with the help of security operatives who prevented entrance and exit into the buildings over unpaid debts totaling N11 billion.

Ben Bruce is known as the Twitter Senator for his constant presence on social media where he analyses cogent issues affecting the nation and the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

As expected, Nigerians on social media came up with different theories concerning the said seizure of the Senators’s assets.

AMCON bought Silverbird's debt in 2011. This has been on for 5 years. Bloody long time.

You have to feel sorry for those applauding the fall of the #Silverbird Group run by Ben-Murray Bruce in Nigeria. Almost witchcraft.

I hope AMCON appoints a management team to run Silverbird, winding it down won't favour the employees.

If you are angry AMCON took over SilverBird, go and borrow another N11billion and pay back his debtors in anger.
