The Nigerian Army has arrested two serving soldiers over their alleged involvement in an unauthorised deployment during the lavish wedding ceremony of Nigerian content creator, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and fellow TikTok personality, Jarvis, in Lekki, Lagos State.

Military sources said the arrests followed intelligence indicating that some Army personnel were allegedly deployed without authorisation to the celebrity wedding held over the weekend.

The arrested soldiers were identified as 23NA/85/10007 Private Onasanya Ifeoluwa of the 81 Division Medical Services and Hospital, and 23NA/85/7885 Private Ukpai Onyinyechi, also attached to the same unit in Obalende, Lagos.

According to a top military source, the two soldiers were apprehended on Tuesday morning as preliminary investigations commenced into the incident.

“Following credible intelligence on the involvement of Nigerian Army personnel in illegal deployment during popular social influencer’s wedding known as Peller at Lekki, Lagos, the Group arrested 23NA/85/10007 PTE Onasanya Ifeoluwa of 81 Division Medical Services and Hospital and 23NA/85/7885 PTE Ukpai Onyinyechi of 81DMSH at Obalende this morning,” the source said.

The source added that investigations were ongoing to determine the extent of their involvement and identify other personnel who may have been connected with the alleged unauthorised deployment.

The arrests followed the circulation of videos from the high-profile wedding on social media, showing uniformed military personnel providing security around some celebrity guests.

One of the videos, which drew widespread public attention, allegedly showed a soldier acting as a bouncer for TikTok personality Ivanna while escorting her through the crowded venue.

The footage sparked criticism online, with many Nigerians questioning why military personnel were allegedly deployed to a private social event involving influencers and celebrities.

Peller and Jarvis’ wedding, held in Lekki over the weekend, attracted several entertainers, social media influencers and content creators. Videos from the ceremony dominated social media platforms, with large crowds of guests and fans in attendance.

However, controversy trailed the event after clips surfaced showing men in military uniforms managing access to parts of the venue and escorting some attendees.

The Nigerian Army has repeatedly maintained that serving personnel are prohibited from undertaking unauthorised private security duties or participating in illegal deployments without official approval.
