The common sense senator, Ben Murray Bruce may have used the loan he got from Union Bank to acquire a $5million mansion in Beverly Hills, USA An investigation has revealed that Bayelsa Senator Benjamin Murray-Bruce may have illegally diverted a loan he obtained from Union Bank of Nigeria to purchase a posh property in Beverly Hills, California in 2007. Mr. Murray-Bruce has been in the spotlight lately after the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) on June 23, 2016 seized several of his Silverbird media companies for failing to make payments on billions of naira in loans. Mr. Murray-Bruce, the self-proclaimed Commonsense Senator, was one of the most vocal senators during the #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira, a movement that criticizes those who needlessly import foreign goods. He touted his reputation for building businesses in Nigeria to champion the importance of domestic investment in goods. Several banking sources in Nigeria told SaharaReporters that the N11 billion loan Mr. Murray-Bruce took out from Union Bank around 2007 was supposed to be used to construct the Abuja Entertainment Center. According to the sources, instead of using the loan to fund his Nigerian business operations, Mr. Murray-Bruce diverted it to purchase an opulent property in the Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles and London. The Los Angeles County Property Assessor’s Office, the Real Estate Records office, and the Special Investigation unit confirmed that the Nigerian senator from Bayelsa State purchased a property on August 6th, 2007 and remains the owner. The address is 605 North Camden Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. A public records search, also confirmed by municipal employees in Los Angeles County, assessed the value of Senator Murray-Bruce’s land at $3.1 million. The value of the mansion and other structures at the property was estimated at no less than $795,000. The senator’s Beverly Hills swanky property has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a swimming pool and is estimated to be at least 2,777 square feet. Assessments of real estate platforms show that the property is worth $5 million as of today. A bond receipt document that confirmed Mr. Murray-Bruce’s ties to the property. The document also listed Stella Albright as having a connection to the property. A public records search of Mrs. Albright found that she was a board member of a company, Dream Magic Studios LLC, alongside Mr. Murray-Bruce.

These happenings are not coincidence at all. All over the world, the populace are tired of these traditional politicians and that is why political revolutions against them are every where. I am not talking about wars and unreasonable agitations but I am talking of public enlightenment on the need to have responsible and committed representations at all levels of government. Most of these people were fortunate in their own times that as early as 35years, they have been leading and representing their constituencies till today. They use the community scholarships and available employment slots for their own children at the expense of the community while they come back home telling their ignorant followers arrant tales that will make them loose focus on asking them to account for their stewardship. It is so sad, irrespective of tribes, religion and party affiliations, no apology to none, that these politicians have raped our economy so badly. Why can't we come together on a national front to calling them out without prejudice to account for their services. As long as we continue to buy party and tribal sentiments, these 'polithieves" people will always find a place to hide and get a tool to destabilize our thoughts... What efforts are they making to empower the vibrant youths to be able to speak not to task of becoming leaders? They have garnered all our resources to themselves and their kids turning others to beggars and slaves so that they can always serve them and their children... What a life? It is time to rise up and say NO to all these mess...
