Popular Nigerian fashion designer Mai Atafo office was over the night engulfed in fire which burnt down almost all the items in the office.

The designer who made the announcement via his Instagram page, acknowledged the swift response of the men of the Lagos State Fire Service, whom he claimed arrived at the scene 5 minutes after they were contacted.

He wrote:

Today I say a BIG thank you to the Lagos State Government Fire Service for a remarkable job well done.

This is clearly the first time I can say I have seen my tax in action.

A call to 767 at 11:30pm on Saturday night and 5 minutes later give or take we had men from the fire service in full action. Speed, expertise and dedication from the firemen saved the day and I am still full of gratitude.

It was finally discovered that it was the electrical point (socket) of the air conditioner that must have started the fire and the only person in the building ran past the fire extinguisher for dear life (can't blame the guy) We lost a production room several ironing tables, industrial irons, sewing machines etc. Luckily the windows were all shut so the fire couldn't last so long but the heat was really powerful and proceeded to do the final damage melting everything else.

Where the fire and heat ended soot took over, let's just say the fashion trend for the night was all beautiful with tint of soot.

We are thankful to God that they no injuries or lives lost and high spirits to get back to production today.

To everyone involved with the business you may experience some delays buy we will ensure not to disappoint.
Right now it's all #positivevibes.

You can't change the past but you can design your future and in our case, it will be done fashionably.

Thanks again to the Lagos State Government Fire Service.

Electrical fault keeps happening in Nigeria because of substandard equipment and lack of proper safety tests. There are too many things to get in order in this country.

May God comfort you

You'll recover double of what you've lost. Amen!
This is one of the importance of Fire insurance.

If ibo man shop catch fire u no the rest

Nobody die more reason to be thankful

Eeyah. Sorry. Pele

Sorry about this, please take heart. May God replenish you!

This is sad. Good thing that no live was lost or any injury. This slight setback will definitely act as a bigger come back by His grace.

Where is the office located

Eeyah, what a loss!

Sighs! When you remind workers, every damned day switch off all appliances including AC before locking up and going home. They won't hear, it will look like someone like talking and complaining. Now see the result! Fire!

None of his worker will claim which one left the shop last.

Smhhhh.

Renovation and buying of materials with some machines starts all over again.

People no hear word! As if one should buy cane and use on matured human beings.

Off all appliances including AC! ORELSE YOU ARE TOYING WITH FIRE O!

I admire his good spirits. He did not blame an village pipu or anunfortunate “nwa-boi”. He apologized for like delay shows his professionalism and he's ready to move on.

Wishing you a greater tomorrow, sir.
