Nigerian online streamer and TikToker Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, caused a stir at his court wedding to colleague and lover Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known as Jarvis, after he momentarily obstructed the process.
The controversial content creator was captured in a viral video expressing shock over the legal implications of his statutory marriage to his partner.
Earlier, several media outlets had reported that the celebrity couple would legally tie the knot in court on Wednesday, July 29, while their white wedding will take place on August 1.

However, in a video of the court wedding which trended online afterwards, the registrar was heard explaining the legal implications of their vows to the couple.
Facing Peller and Jarvis, the registrar asked: “If any of you goes against the rule, he or she is guilty of an offence called bigamy. It is a punishable offence with a minimum of five years’ imprisonment, with no option of a fine.
“Should I proceed?”
Responding, Peller, who was obviously taken aback by the statement, raised objections, asking why a marriage born out of love should have anything to do with prison.
He queried: “This is marriage, love. What has love got to do with imprisonment?”
