Thugs snatched my guests’ phones during wedding – Peller

Popular TikTok influencer Peller alleged that groups of thugs stole mobile phones from guests at his wedding in Lagos. During a TikTok live stream, he expressed frustration over the incidents which occurred outside the ceremony venue while the wedding was still in progress. Several guests later reported to him that their phones had been stolen by suspected 'agberos' or thugs gathered around the venue.

Peller claimed that he had spent a significant amount of money to replace the stolen devices and was exhausted by the situation. He blamed the thefts on the abundance of agberos in Lagos, stating that there were more of them outside the venue than there were guests at his wedding. One female guest had her phone stolen immediately upon arriving at the venue.

Peller also alleged that a road accident incident occurred outside the venue while he was inside celebrating. He vowed not to allow a repeat of the thefts during his white wedding scheduled for August 8, and announced that he would deploy security personnel to prevent unauthorized people from gathering around the venue. The white wedding, which would only have 100 invited guests, was anticipated to be a private ceremony.

Peller's traditional wedding earlier this month had attracted celebrities, social media influencers, and thousands of online viewers, generating widespread attention due to the lavish gifts presented to the couple.
