The Nigerian Army has commenced investigations into how some of its personnel acted as body guards at the wedding ceremony of content creator, Habeeb Hamzat popularly known as Peller, and TikTok personality Jarvis.
Already two serving soldiers have been arrested in what was described as their alleged involvement in an unauthorised deployment during the wedding ceremony.
According to reports, the arrests followed intelligence indicating that the soldiers participated in an illegal deployment at the celebrity wedding held in Lekki, Lagos State, over the weekend.
Military sources revealed that the personnel were apprehended on Tuesday morning as investigations began into the incident.
According to a military source, preliminary investigations are underway to determine the extent of their involvement and identify any other personnel who may have participated.
The development follows the circulation of videos from the high-profile wedding showing individuals in military uniforms providing security around some celebrity guests.
One of the widely shared clips allegedly showed a soldier escorting TikTok personality, Ivanna through the crowded venue, prompting criticism on social media and raising questions about the use of military personnel at a private event.
The wedding of Peller and Jarvis attracted numerous entertainers, influencers and content creators, becoming one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the weekend.
The Nigerian Army has consistently maintained that serving personnel are prohibited from undertaking unauthorised private security duties or participating in deployments without official approval.
