How Hilda Baci’s Cook-a-thon Attendees Stole Properties

Longe Segun, a Nigerian designer, has claimed that the structure used by chef Hilda Baci for her cook-a-thon was robbed after she completed the task.

Segun, who worked with the company that built the structure, revealed this via Twitter.

Baci had commenced her four-day ‘cook-a-thon’ on Thursday, May 11 at Amore Gardens, Lekki, Lagos State in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking hours.

On the last day of the task, attendees stole everything that was inside, leaving behind only the refrigerator. The stolen items were pots, bowls, baskets, and fake fruits used to decorate the interior.

Despite the loss of the properties, Segun narrated that his boss was understanding and did not blame any of the workers for the incident.

Segun said;

“That structure behind you was built by Art company I work with. It’s one of the project I supervised. On the last day of the Cookathon, everything in that structure was stolen by people that came to the venue. D only thing they didn’t steal was the fridge.

“Boss understand the situation of things. If not, our pay would have been zapped. She’s a kind boss

“See ehn, set of pots 50k, antique baskets, ceramics statues, ceramics bowls all imported by my boss, small potted plants, they even stole the fake fruits. See that theft for affect our pay if not for an understanding boss cos na serious lack of supervision occur there.”

A tweep @Emem_multy asked; “But I thought they were securities, how did they pass without being seen? Human seizes to amaze me.”

Segun responded;

“The last two days was hell. We were all tired so we slept. Thinking since it’s a Monday, people won’t turn, by the time I woke up, people were everywhere, choked. When it was evening, i went to the kitchen and viola, I met people drinking alcohol inside the empty kitchen.”
