VIDEO: Shocking moment Miss Congo's wig caught fire after being crowned Miss Africa 2018 in Nigeria

Miss Congo emerged winner last night at the Miss Africa 2018 beauty pageant and shortly after she won, her wig caught fire on stage.

24-year-old Dorcas Kasinde beat other contestants to win the crown. Miss Nigeria came second while Miss Zambia came third.

As Miss Congo celebrated her victory and hugged her predecessor, her wig caught fire.

Thankfully, Host Ebuka came to her rescue before more damage could be done.

Social media users have jokingly accused Calabar witches of being responsible. But it is believed the fire was caused by the stage flame positioned at various corners on the stage.
