Popular TikTok star, Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, has claimed that some thieves stole mobile phones from guests at his traditional wedding in Lagos. He said he has been paying back those who lost their phones.
During a TikTok livestream on Monday, Peller shared his anger about what happened. He said the thefts took place outside the venue while the wedding was going on.
He mentioned that many guests contacted him later to report their phones had been stolen by suspected ‘agberos’ hanging around the venue.
"I’ve spent a significant amount replacing some of the stolen devices," he said, adding that he was tired of the whole situation.
Peller blamed the thefts on the hoodlums who crowded around the wedding.
"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.
He claimed that one female guest had her phone taken as soon as she arrived at the venue.
"One girl, as she reach, na so dem snatch her phone for gate. Dem run away," he said.
Peller also mentioned another incident where a car accident happened 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.
Looking back at the experience, Peller promised he would not let it happen again during his white wedding set 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 previously said that the white wedding would be a private event with only 100 guests. He also stated that security would be there to stop unauthorised people from gathering around the venue.
