Popular Nigerian TikTok creator Hamzat Habeeb, widely known as Peller, sparked laughter during his court wedding after questioning why prison was mentioned during a marriage ceremony.

During the marriage proceedings, the registrar reminded the couple that marriage is legally binding and warned them about the consequences of violating their vows. She explained that entering another marriage while still legally married, an offence known as bigamy, is punishable under the law.
The warning appeared to surprise Peller, who immediately sought clarification before responding in his usual humorous style.
"Wait, wait, I get the question. For marriage? We will not break it, but ah, I don’t know how prison enters this love. We are good," Peller said during the ceremony.
His comment drew smiles from those present as the court proceedings continued.
The couple's journey to marriage has attracted attention in recent months. In June 2026, Peller proposed to Jarvis during a private beachside outing at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Ghana, where she accepted his proposal.
Days later, he travelled to Benin City to complete the traditional bride price ceremony with Jarvis' family, marking another important step before their wedding.
Last week, the couple also confirmed through a video shared online that August 1, 2026, has been fixed for their white wedding ceremony, bringing an end to weeks of anticipation from their supporters.
Their court wedding now officially marks the legal beginning of their marriage as they prepare to celebrate their union with family, friends and well-wishers at the upcoming white wedding.
