Popular TikTok streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has appealed to fans and followers for financial assistance to repair his damaged Mercedes Benz SUV, saying the cost of fixing the luxury vehicle has been placed at N11 million.
The influencer disclosed this during a recent live session on TikTok, weeks after he was involved in a controversial road crash that left the vehicle badly damaged and landed him in hospital.
The incident, which occurred in December 2025, attracted nationwide attention after it happened during a live broadcast.
Repair cost revelation
Speaking during the live session, Peller revealed the high cost of repairs and his struggles to fund it:
“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.
