Less Than Four Months After Wedding, Jarvis Threatens Peller With Lawsuit Over Second-Wife Plan

Popular Nigerian social media personality, Jarvis, has threatened to take legal action against her husband, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, following an alleged disagreement over his reported intention to marry another woman.

The controversy reportedly erupted after Jarvis expressed anger over discussions about Peller taking a second wife barely four months after their marriage.

In a video shared on social media, Jarvis questioned why the issue of a second wife had surfaced so soon after their wedding, insisting that Peller had not presented such an arrangement to her before she agreed to marry him.

According to her, she entered the marriage based on an understanding she had with Peller before their wedding and was therefore unhappy that the possibility of another wife was now being discussed.

Jarvis reportedly reminded Peller that their marriage was still very young and warned that she would seek legal redress if the matter continued.

“Our marriage is not even up to four months,” she was quoted as saying while expressing her displeasure over the development.

She also reportedly threatened that Peller could end up in prison if she proceeded with legal action, adding to the intensity of the disagreement.

The social media personality further referred to discussions they allegedly had before their marriage, insisting that the present situation was different from what she understood when she agreed to become his wife.

The reported dispute has attracted considerable attention among their fans, particularly because of the short period since the couple formalised their relationship.

Peller and Jarvis’ relationship had generated significant public interest before their wedding, with the pair becoming popular through social media content, livestreams and appearances together.

Their wedding ceremonies were widely followed by fans and fellow entertainment personalities, making them one of the more closely watched young celebrity couples on social media.

However, the latest development has now shifted attention to the couple’s understanding of marriage, religion and the possibility of polygamy.

Jarvis reportedly maintained that she was not comfortable with the situation and challenged Peller over what she described as a departure from their earlier understanding.

She also threatened to take the matter beyond social media by seeking legal intervention.

There was, however, no indication from the reported exchange that Jarvis had already filed a court case against Peller.

Similarly, the reported controversy does not by itself establish that Peller has formally commenced plans to marry another woman.

Peller’s full response to the allegations was also not immediately clear from the circulating video.

The development has since triggered reactions among their followers, with many questioning what may have caused the disagreement only a few months into their marriage.

For now, the reported legal threat remains a warning made by Jarvis, while it remains unclear whether the dispute will result in an actual court case or be resolved privately by the couple.

The funeral followed a Night of Tributes and Service of Songs held on September 30 at Glover Memorial Hall on Lagos Island. The event attracted several generations of Nigerian actors and filmmakers who gathered to celebrate Jacobs’ contribution to the country’s entertainment industry.

Among those who attended the earlier tribute event were Richard Mofe-Damijo, Sola Sobowale, Funke Akindele, Jide Kosoko, Rita Dominic, Hilda Dokubo and Segun Arinze.

Jacobs was widely recognised as one of the most influential figures in Nigerian theatre and film. He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London and built an acting career that included British theatre and television productions before returning to Nigeria in 1990.

He subsequently became a prominent figure in Nollywood, appearing in numerous films and television productions and mentoring younger performers through his work in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Jacobs and Joke Silva also co-founded the Lufodo Group and the Lufodo Academy of Performing Arts, contributing to professional training and development in Nigeria’s performing arts sector.

His contributions earned him several honours, including the AFRIFF Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021, an Icon Award from the Actors and Voters Rights Society in 2022 and an Industry Merit Award at the 2023 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).

The funeral brought to a close a series of tributes celebrating the life and career of an actor whose work extended across theatre, television and film in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

With his burial held privately after Friday’s funeral service, family, colleagues and admirers have continued to remember Olu Jacobs for his longstanding contribution to African theatre and cinema.
