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.
