Nigerian TikToker, Habeeb Okikiola aka Peller, has lamented after receiving N18 million tax bill from the Lagos State Inland Revenue Service (LIRS).
He took to social media to lament, appealing to the government to show compassion.
“Government, please, I need you to pity me. I don’t have anything; I am just managing. How can you tell me to come and pay a huge tax? Do you want to k!ll me? You also have someone like me as a child at home? Why are you doing this to me?” he lamented.
According to Peller, the huge tax bill was as a result of online rumour claiming he paid fellow TikToker, Gehgeh, N25 million to feature on his livestream.
Denying the claim, he said: “Please don’t listen to him (Gehgeh). I did not pay such an amount. It was my fans who contributed to the studio payment. I am just a normal guy on the street. Even the partnerships I do online, they don’t pay more than ₦200k or ₦500k.”
