Peller’s reaction to the bigamy warning
A clip from the ceremony captured the registrar delivering the standard legal caution to the couple, warning them that either party who violated the terms of the marriage could be charged with bigamy, a criminal offence carrying a minimum sentence of five years’ imprisonment with no option of a fine.
The registrar then paused and asked, “Should I proceed, or do you want to go and rethink?”
Rather than letting the moment pass quietly, Peller stepped in with a question of his own.
Speaking in a mix of Pidgin and English, he said:
“Excuse me ma. Wait, wait, I get question. Na marriage, love. We will not break it, but ah, I don’t know how prison enter this love. We are good.”
His reaction, which essentially questioned why prison could have anything to do with a marriage rooted in love, quickly caught attention online after the clip spread across X.

According to Delta State government official Ossai Ovie Success, Temple eventually fulfilled the pledge by sending Peller ₦17 million in cash instead of the livestock.
