A Nigerian dentist, Eberechi, has reacted online after TikTok star Habeeb Hamzat, aka Peller, claimed that his girlfriend Aminata Elizabeth Amadou, aka Jarvis or Jardolita, would be needing over N30 million for her tumour surgery.
Just recently, Peller caused a massive uproar on social media with claims that he had opened a GoFundMe for Nigerians to donate to Jarvis’ surgery. He also revealed that they would need several millions to solve the problem.
Shortly after Peller’s post went viral, a Nigerian dentist, Eberechi, took to his X (Twitter) page to express his doubts. According to him, the TikTok star was only trying to raise funds to spend in December.

The tumour can affect Jarvis' quality of life - Dentist
In a chat with Legit.ng, the dentist who shut down the claims that Jarvis needed N30 million for her surgery, explained what the TikTok star's situation might have been.
According to Eberechi, from what he could tell, Jarvis had a benign tumour which could affect her quality of life if not removed. He said:
"From what I have seen online and from some of my sources within the health sector, she has a benign tumor. I cannot disclose the exact benign tumor she has due to ethics. It's already complex talking about an individual's medical issue, although my comment was reactionary to their public announcement.
