Popular TikTok creator, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has alleged that suspected hoodlums stole mobile phones belonging to some guests at his traditional wedding in Lagos, saying he has been refunding victims for their losses.
Speaking during a TikTok livestream on Monday, Peller expressed frustration over the incidents, which he said occurred outside the wedding venue while the ceremony was ongoing.
According to him, several guests later contacted him to report that their phones had been snatched by suspected ‘agberos’ gathered around the venue.
“I’ve spent a significant amount replacing some of the stolen devices,” he said, adding that he was exhausted by the situation.
The content creator blamed the thefts on hoodlums who allegedly crowded the venue.
“Agbero don occupy Lagos. No be small. Agbero plenty pass guests wey come to my wedding. Agbero plenty outside. People wey come say dem dey snatch their phones. Una know how many phone I don pay for?” he said.
Peller claimed one female guest had her phone stolen immediately after arriving at the venue.
“One girl, as she reach, na so dem snatch her phone for gate. Dem run away,” he said.
He also alleged that another incident involving a road accident occurred outside the venue while he was inside celebrating.
“Me wey I dey inside hall dey do my wedding, na so them say I kill person. Agbero stay for front of car. Them say comot, he no gree. The car owner vex con jam am,” he said.
Reflecting on the experience, Peller said he would not allow a repeat during his white wedding scheduled for August 8.
“No worry, my white wedding no go be like the way una do that day. Na so I see one video wey car go jam one guy,” he said.
He had earlier announced that the white wedding would be a private ceremony with only 100 invited guests, adding that security personnel would be deployed to prevent unauthorised persons from gathering around the venue.
PUNCH Online had earlier reported that Peller and his partner, Elizabeth Amadou, popularly known as Jarvis, held their traditional wedding in Lagos on Saturday in a ceremony tagged #JP2026, attracting celebrities, social media influencers and thousands of online viewers.
