He Promised Me Full Matches – Peller Alleges S€xual Abuse By Former Football Coach
TikTok content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has claimed that he was sexually abused by his football coach.
Daily voice reports that he disclosed this on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast.
According to him, the traumatic experience, which occurred when he was a teenager, brought an end to what he believed could have been a successful football career.
Peller said the alleged incidents occurred when he was between 14 and 15 years old.
According to him, the experience forced him to abandon his ambition of becoming a professional footballer.
“I’m supposed to be at the World Cup currently,” he said.
Peller said the team usually assembled at an uncompleted building before heading to the football pitch for training.
He said players who arrived late were often fined, but he was not always able to pay, making him a frequent target for the coach.
“He would ask the other players to go to the field and tell me to stay behind because I came late. Then he would call me closer and start pressing my breasts,” Peller alleged.
He also recounted an incident in Agric, Ikorodu, where the coach allegedly invited him under the pretext of helping him collect an item.
According to Peller, when he arrived at the coach’s one-room apartment and handed over the item, the coach allegedly removed his clothes and asked him to get onto the bed.
“I told him, ‘Come to the bed? I only came to bring what you asked for,” he recalled.
Peller claimed the coach attempted to persuade him by promising to give him more playing time.
“He told me not to worry and that he would allow me to play full matches,” he said.
The TikTok star said he later stepped outside after noticing some children playing football nearby and joined them briefly, a move that reportedly angered the coach.
According to him, the coach called him back into the room and locked the door.
Sensing danger, Peller said he told the coach he needed to urinate. He claimed that as soon as the door was unlocked, he seized the opportunity to flee and never returned.
He said the experience forced him to abandon football and eventually led him into content creation.
“That was when I became wise and started doing my tap, tap, tap,” he said, referring to his transition into livestreaming.
Peller also reflected on the early days of his online career, saying he attracted only two or three viewers before meeting fellow content creator Jarvis, whose collaborations helped boost his popularity.
Daily Voice reports that the Convener of the Coalition of Public Interest Lawyers and Advocates (COPA), Pelumi Olajengbesi, announced the singer’s death in a post via his Instagram page on Wednesday.
While praying for God’s mercy upon Toluwanisings, Olajengbesi expressed concern over the death of young Nigerians.
The family of the deceased also confirmed the demise in a statement via the singer’s Instagram page after confusion trailed the death.
In a post shared on his Instagram handle, Oloketuyi said Toluwanisings slumped on the stairs and was rushed from one hospital to another.
According to him, Toluwanisings was rejected in two hospitals before the third medical facility, which accepted him, confirmed the singer dead.
While describing the death as too painful, Oloketuyi wrote, “How Toluwasings died. DEATH SHAME ON YOU: You slumped on the stairs, and they began rushing you from one hospital to another. The first hospital rejected you, the second hospital rejected you, and by the time you got to the third hospital, they said you were gone.
“This is too painful to believe. A gospel musician whose voice once blessed souls, gone just like that?
“Death, why are you so cruel?
“Rest in peace, Toluwanisings. Your voice may be silent here on earth, but the songs you left behind will continue to speak.”

Sharon Ademefun (née Adeleke), the sister of popular Nigerian singer Davido, has said she no longer spends excessively on expensive clothes.
She said some things are worth the cost, but others are hard to justify.
Daily Voice reports that Ademefun shared her reservations during an interview on The Fashion Round Table podcast.
“I don’t really believe in buying expensive clothes, me personally. I believe that there are some things that are worth it. When I’m hearing that a wedding guest dress is $10,000, a wedding guest dress, they’re all the same price now,” she said.
Sharon also opened up about her wedding expenses, revealing that her husband paid $2,000 for her wedding dress, while she covered the cost of dresses for her 13 bridesmaids and an additional four or five hostesses.
“I remember for my wedding, my husband paid $2,000 for my dress, and I paid for all my bridesmaids’ dresses. I had 13 bridesmaids, and I paid for the hostesses’ dresses too. That was an additional four or five people. Altogether, I spent less than $10,000 on everything. But that comes back to where I went. I just feel like there are certain things that I’m not willing to pay for anymore. So I don’t believe in overly expensive clothes. I’m turning 40 next year, and I’ve made an executive decision- unfortunately, I’m sorry to say this- that I will not be participating with any Nigerian designer directly,” she said.
