The Nigerian Army has reportedly arrested two serving soldiers over their alleged involvement in an unauthorised deployment during the wedding ceremony of content creators Peller and Jarvis in Lekki, Lagos.
According to SaharaReporters, the soldiers were arrested on Tuesday following intelligence that they had provided security at the celebrity event without official approval.
Military sources identified the personnel as Private Onasanya Ifeoluwa and Private Ukpai Onyinyechi, both attached to the 81 Division Medical Services and Hospital (81DMSH), Obalende, Lagos.
The report stated that preliminary investigations are underway to determine the extent of their involvement and whether other military personnel were connected to the alleged unauthorised deployment.
The arrests come after videos from the wedding circulated online, showing uniformed soldiers managing crowds and escorting some guests. One clip that drew widespread attention allegedly showed a soldier escorting TikTok personality Ivanna through the venue.
The Nigerian Army maintains that serving personnel are not permitted to undertake private security duties or participate in deployments without official authorisation. The investigation is ongoing.
