The Nigerian Army has arrested two serving soldiers over their alleged involvement in an unauthorised deployment during the wedding ceremony of popular content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and TikTok personality Jarvis in Lagos.
According to military sources, the soldiers were apprehended following intelligence reports that they participated in illegal security duties at the celebrity wedding held in Lekki over the weekend.
The arrested personnel were identified as Private Onasanya Ifeoluwa and Private Ukpai Onyinyechi, both attached to the 81 Division Medical Services and Hospital (81DMSH), Obalende, Lagos.
Military authorities said preliminary investigations are underway to determine the extent of their involvement and identify any other personnel connected to the incident.
The arrests followed the circulation of videos on social media showing uniformed military personnel providing security at the event. One of the clips allegedly showed a soldier acting as a bouncer while escorting a guest through the venue, sparking widespread public criticism.
The Nigerian Army is yet to issue an official statement on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
