TikTok sensation Habeeb Hamzat, affectionately known as Peller, has turned to his followers for help in covering the repair costs of his Mercedes Benz SUV, which sustained significant damage and now requires N11 million for restoration.
The influencer made this plea during a live session on TikTok, following an unfortunate road accident that not only left his vehicle in need of serious repairs but also ended with him in the hospital.
The crash, which took place in December 2025, drew widespread attention as it unfolded during one of his live broadcasts.
Repair cost revelation
During the live stream, Peller candidly discussed the steep repair costs and his financial struggles:
“They told me that fixing my car would cost 11 million naira. I haven’t fixed it yet because the money is too much, and I thought maybe my fans who love me can help me out. I never imagined it would cost this much.”
He explained that the high repair bill was the major reason the vehicle had remained unrepaired, adding that he had only recently returned to social media after taking time off to recover emotionally.
Appeal to fans
In a direct appeal to viewers joining the livestream, the content creator urged those who could assist to contribute towards repairing the SUV. He added:
“I just want to be honest with you all. This accident has affected me mentally and financially. If anyone can support me, it will go a long way. I really need your help to get my car back on the road.”
Background to the crash
The crash, which Peller previously described as deliberate, occurred along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and sparked concern among fans and well-wishers nationwide.
Authorities, including the Federal Road Safety Corps and the Lagos State Police Command, have since indicated plans to prosecute him for reckless and distracted driving.
Peller has also issued public apologies to Jarvis’ family and Nigerians, as reactions to his crowdfunding appeal continue to trend across social media platforms.
