Read the post by the Instagram user, @rettypety who claims that designer Maryam Elisha @rikaotobyme  gifted her wedding reception dress to actress Mercy Aigbe.

@rettypety: “This was too bad. On the 29th of December 2017 which happens to be a day to my wedding, a greedy designer decided to ruin my big day. I cried all day no stop. I bought this lovely fabric from @bshani_bridalfbrics and asked her to deliver to this designer @rikaotobyme. After I had concluded the style and price with @rikaotobyme I made a 50% payment to her as soon the fabric got to her. Told her it’s my wedding reception dress she assured me it will be ready on 26th.

On that 26th I chatted her up to ask for my dress she replied saying it was ready as u can see on the chat above, she also said she will send a pics, eventually now sent a video d next day which was 27th u can also see that on the chat above. I sent the balance 50% to her on 28th when I had seen the dress and was satisfied, she couldn’t send that day cos all flights coming to Benin that day were cancelled.

So we were now left with 29th a day to my wedding, I called her by 6 am that morning and she told me the delivery guy has gone to the park to send my dress that she will send the waybill details (sending details ) across shortly. I waited till 9 am no words from her. I started calling to ask for the waybill details she wasn’t taking my calls, at times she even cut the calls.

I sent several messages no response at 1 pm I started crying cos the situation got beyond my control. My hubby, friends and family requested for the number and also started calling her but she obviously decided not to take any calls again. Until 4 pm when I was drained in tears she then called and was apologising that she didn’t know what to say to me that was why she refused taking calls. She continued, saying the delivery guy she gave my dress to was nowhere to be found.

When she heard how I was crying she then suggested to give me one of her old dresses for me to use for the day, I had no choice cos I was desperate I then accepted it. I got the d dress on my wedding morning.

I went on IG yesterday only to see @realmercyaigbe wearing my dress with the same fabric I bought and she tagged the same designer @rikaotobyme. How much did she pay you to disappoint a bride on her wedding day?

“You are heartlessly wicked and you will surely not get away with this @rikaotobyme
