Ben Murray-Bruce ‘recovers’ Silverbird from AMCON
It seems an agreement has been reached by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) with the Management of Silverbird Communications Limited.
The debt recovery institution has withdrawn from the premises of the SilverBird group, effectively allowing them to carry on normal business activities.
The Silverbird group is run by a known critic of the APC-led government, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce and his family.
Consequently, the Management of Silverbird on Friday tendered apologies to its viewers and listeners over their television.

According to a statement from the management of Silverbird Communications said “The Management of Silverbird Communications Limited, owners of Rhythm F.M and Silverbird TV sincerely apologise to its numerous viewers, listeners
and on line subscribers over the disruption of our operations across Television, Radio and online Media.
