Nigerian skit maker and content creator, Peller, has alleged that some of the dollar notes sprayed on him during his recent wedding to fellow content creator, Jarvis, were fake.
Speaking in a video shared on social media, Peller said he discovered the issue after taking the money to the bank and attempting to exchange the foreign currency.
According to him, the Nigerian naira he received during the celebration was confirmed to be genuine, but he claimed that some of the dollar notes turned out to be counterfeit.
“I went to the bank, and the Nigerian money was genuine. A lot of people sprayed me with Nigerian currency, and that was good,” he said.
Peller added that he could identify some of the guests who gifted him genuine cash during the ceremony.
“I know the people who gave me genuine money. If I see them, I will recognise them,” he stated.
Recounting how he discovered the alleged fake notes, Peller said he initially felt excited after returning home and even used the cash while recording a video before realising something was wrong.
“They gave me fake money. I got home, I was feeling like a millionaire and used the money to make a video. Then I realised it was fake,” he said.
He further claimed that the issue became clear when he tried to exchange the dollars.
“Since I went to change the dollars yesterday night, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. Is it by force to spray money?” he asked.
Peller’s allegation has since sparked reactions across social media, with many users expressing sympathy, while others questioned how the alleged counterfeit notes ended up at the wedding.
