- Following the recent scandal surrounding one of Mercy Aigbe's birthday dresses, the designer in question speaks out
- Identified as Rikaoto, she took to her Instagram business page to tender a public apology to both the disappointed bride and Mercy Aigbe
- According to her post, she blamed the unfortunate event on a dispatch error
Earlier on, NAIJ.com reported the news of how a Nigerian bride took to her Instagram page to accuse a Nigerian designer of giving her supposed wedding dress to Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe for her birthday shoot.
The designer in question recently took to her social media page to address the issue. In what looked like a public apology to both the bride and Mercy Aigbe, she claims it was a mix up and blames the whole incident on a dispatch error.
The fashion designer took to her Instagram business page to write: Our attention has been drawn to the ongoing chaos surrounding a dress and one of our esteemed clients on Instagram and possibly on other blogs and social media sites....We would have preferred if this matter was addressed directly to us for a quick resolution and to avoid the media frenzy, unfortunately it wasn't.

We hold our clients dearly and offer our services on first come first served bases with no iota of discrimination or insinuation of such. We admit that a dispatch errror occurred in the delivery of a dress to Miss Lawrentta, who was set to get married on the 30th December, 2017 and the pick up of another dress on behalf of actress, Mercy Aigbe...Please note that both dresses were of the same style, the same colour (red) and almost the same measurement.
On realizing the error on dispatch, we quickly tried to rectify the mix up. But it was too late as the wrong dress was already on its way to Edo state for the bride to be. We contacted the bride and explained we had an issue and asked if she would be comfortable with another dress , of same kind (which was the one meant for Mercy Aigbe), the bride agreed so we allowed the dress to be delivered as time to recall dispatch was short in relation to the time of the wedding.
We have already apologized to Miss Lawrentta , but once again use the public fora to tender an unreserved apology to her and by extension Mercy Aigbe who shouldn't have been dragged into this."
