My South African Partner Duped Me Of $3.5 Million In Kenya — Murray-Bruce by TouchNfollow(f): 6:26pm On Nov 15


The founder of the Silverbird Group, Ben Murray-Bruce, has narrated how his South African partner defrauded him of $3.5 million on the purchase of a cinema complex in Kenya.

Though he did not mention his partner’s name, he recalled that by making a bank transfer of the said sum, the South African registered the business in his name.

The former Senator representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District stated this during the fourth edition of the Peace Anyiam-Osigwe Nigeria Digital Content Regulation Conference, held in Victoria Island, Lagos State, on Thursday.

He said, “I was called to buy a cinema complex in Kenya for $3.5 million. I transferred the money and my South African partner registered it in his name. That was how I lost that huge investment.

“I have a studio in Los Angeles and I am battling with litigation with one of the most prominent actors in Hollywood.”


The media business mogul expressed his interest in movie production, adding that while he’s currently working on a movie script, the movie would address fundamental issues in society.

He stressed the significance of promoting creativity as he recalled that some time ago, while he went to the Ajegunle part of Lagos, he saw some kids fighting.

Murray-Bruce noted that the kids — “future leaders” were “learning how to be tough. But some people see them as crooks. Leaders of entertainment in the US today were born in their Ajegunle.

“The entertainment industry is a very successful one. In all the things I have done, I have never made one move about movie making but now, I will. I am working on a script and I know we will get it right. We will deal with fundamental issues.”

The death of Anyiam-Osigwe, a prominent Nigerian filmmaker and founder of the African Movie Academy Awards, was announced on January 10, 2023.

The former lawmaker also paid tribute to the late Anyiam-Osigwe, recalling how she used to visit him in his house on her bicycle.

“Peace came to my house one day and asked me why I abandoned entertainment and became a politician. I have known her since she was six years old. She used to come to our house on her bicycle. Her brothers also used to come riding theirs,” he said.

Mumu, you should have gone through their chambers of commerce, have the man verified, sent the money through official channels, instead of wiring it to him.

Used escrow with contingency so that he cannot access the money without documents signed and he agrees on what purpose the money is for.Verified his documents and how long he has been in business.

When your use ill-gotten money to do business, you dont do the necessary checks and balances because na awoof money.

Commonsense Senator........Taaaaaah.....MUGU.

Calm down. A former Kogi state governor was at a point duped by a fellow Nigerian residing in South Africa. The then governor wanted to buy a certain hotel, and the Nigerian man who was his middle man collected the money from the governor and purchased the hotel in his own name instead of the governor's name. Lol.
It brought about a long legal battle but the middle man won the case because the hotel papers carried his name. One of the biggest hotel in SA then.

If ur a Kogite u will knw the governor involved. I won't mention names.

Don't be surprised by his stupidity
Basic laws of human stupidity points out that a good percentage of humans are born stupid and stupidity is not determine by Gender , race , education or cultural forces , poor or Rich , some humans are just born stupid by nature.

There is a fraction of stupid people in all walks of life , teachers, lawyers, professors , politicians entrepreneurs, business tycoons , Nobel laureates, etc I think this man is just stupid even though he is well educated.
