Punch reports that TikTok creator Peller issued an apology after a viral livestream showed reckless driving that ended in a crash—sparking backlash and a fresh wave of road-safety calls.
He referenced being on medication and asked people not to attack Jarvis online, while police confirmed an arrest and detention as the matter moved into formal investigation.
– Lagos State Police Command (X / official): “has arrested and detained… Habeeb Hamzat aka ‘PELLER’, subsequent to the viral video…”
– TheCable Lifestyle (News outlet): “I am sorry you all… I will never do such thing again…”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: This is bigger than one creator—Nigeria’s attention economy is colliding with public safety and mental-health realities. Watch next for how quickly charges move, and whether platforms and talent managers begin enforcing real duty-of-care rules for creators.
