Barely a year after fashion designer, Maryam Elisha who owns fashion design outfit, Rikatobyme courted controversy by giving a client’s bridal dress to actress, Mercy Aigbe for her 40th birthday shoot, the designer is in yet another controversy very similar to the one she created with Mercy Aigbe. This time, a client requested that the designer make her a dress for her wedding anniversary. Having given the designer her preferred style, colour and even made part payment of N80,000, Maryam Elisha decided to give the dress to a South African, Ziphozakhe Zina Zokufa, a former Miss South Africa, for a photoshoot, thinking she would not be caught.


Client

Unfortunately, the client found out and accosted the designer who denied that the dress was for the client, saying the dress she saw the South African wear was another dress but only similar in design and colour to what the client ordered for. Armed with proof, the client shot down her claims, releasing a whatsapp chat correspondence that showed that at every step of the dress being put together, pictures were being taken and sent across to her. In calling her out on social media, another victim, of the designer, Reen Udueze revealed that the designer also fraudulently did the same thing to her as well with her wedding dress.
