In a video shared on his TikTok page, a clearly stunned Peller reacted: “That pastor went to church to preach about Peller and Jarvis, saying we’re the reason his kids failed JAMB.”
He further alleged that the pastor’s motive was not rooted in concern, but rather in clout-chasing and manipulation. Peller claimed the preacher deliberately mentioned their names to gain attention and increase offerings from younger members of the congregation.
