Iconic Nigerian designer Dakova's house/factory in Lagos burnt to the ground (photos)

The unfortunate incident happened last night at his 82, Brickfield road, off Apapa Road, Ebute Metta home/factory in Lagos. The fire which started outside at about 8pm last night lasted till about midnight...and razed the building, which housed Dakova's home (in front) and Factory (at the back), to the ground. Fortunately no one was injured but he lost his machines & clothes already sewn worth over $300k. Cause of the fire hasn't been made known...
