Peller Sued for ₦400 Million by Former Tour Bouncer

Peller Sued for ₦400 Million by Former Tour Bouncer

Nigerian content creator and social media star Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has expressed frustration over a growing wave of lawsuits against him, the latest being a ₦400 million claim from a former member of his tour team.

The dispute stems from an incident in March 2026 when a former bouncer under Peller’s employ fell from a vehicle during one of his tour stops. Peller said the man received immediate medical attention, with all hospital bills covered personally by him, but the bouncer has now turned to legal action, seeking substantial damages.

Speaking publicly, Peller lamented the strain of mounting lawsuits:

“Everybody is suing me, I’m tired. My bouncer from my last state tour is suing me after he fell from a car during the tour. He was rushed to the hospital immediately and I paid all his bills, but now he’s demanding ₦400 million in damages.”

This case adds to other legal challenges Peller has faced this year. Earlier reports indicate a woman filed a lawsuit over a confrontation at a restaurant in January, and another pre‑action demand claims defamation and harassment linked to online content shared by the influencer.

Peller’s nationwide tour, which covered multiple Nigerian states in March, has attracted both attention and controversy. Some events generated local disputes, including an incident where a traditional council reprimanded palace staff for allowing him into a sacred site without proper protocol, though he was later invited to clarify.

Legal experts note that Peller’s situation reflects a broader trend among Nigerian influencers and public figures, who increasingly face lawsuits over on-site incidents, social media content, or public appearances. Whether Peller will resolve this latest ₦400 million claim amicably or in court remains to be seen.
