Popular Designer, Maryam Elisha, Who Sold Bride’s Dress To Mercy Aigbe In Fresh Trouble, As Another Bride-To-Be Narrates How She Was Scammed Of $550

A popular Lagos based fashion designer, Maryam Elisha, has been trending on social media in the last 24hrs for allegedly selling the wedding dress of a bride to nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe who recently celebrated her 40th birthday.

For one soon to be bride, her dream wedding looks troubled, as the dress she ordered for her big day hasn’t arrived days to her wedding.

She claims that she ordered a wedding dress from Maryam Elisha (Rikaoto by ME), a popular Nigerian fashion designer on Instagram, but she never received her dress.

According to her, she sent Maryam Elisha $600 for the dress and later sent another $50 , which the designer requested as a charge for shipping.

In spite of making payments via a Bank of America transaction to the designer, the bride-to-be did not received her dress. After pushing for the designer to send the dress, the bride-to-be rather got blocked on Instagram and Facebook by the designer.

Out of desperation, the bride-to-be has shared details of her dealings with the designer with hopes that she can find answers or at least get her money back.
