Habeeb Hamzat, the popular TikTok content creator better known as Peller, has opened up about the painful childhood experience that led him to renounce Islam and embrace Christianity.
During a live session with his fans, Peller recounted his time at a traditional Quranic school, locally known as Ile Kewu, where he endured repeated physical abuse from instructors.
“I’m not a Muslim. I’m a Christian. I go to church,” he declared. “I was beaten severely when I was young at the Quranic school. That’s why I stopped going.”
According to him, the environment that was meant to guide his spiritual development instead became a place of fear and trauma.
Peller said the emotional wounds from that period created a deep disconnect from Islam, ultimately shaping his decision to follow the Christian faith.
