Popular TikTok personality Peller has apologised to Nigerians following his arrest and detention by the Lagos State Police Command over an incident involving dangerous driving and alleged self-harm.
In a video that surfaced on social media, the content creator expressed remorse and appealed for forgiveness, promising not to repeat the behaviour. He also disclosed that he is currently receiving medical care and will return online after completing his treatment.
The incident is reportedly linked to Peller’s recent breakup with his girlfriend, Jarvis. She had earlier confirmed the end of their relationship, citing his struggles with emotional control as a key factor in her decision.
Confirming the arrest, the Lagos State Police Command said Peller was taken into custody after his actions were considered a serious risk to both himself and other road users.
According to police accounts, the incident occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025, when Peller was allegedly seen driving recklessly while livestreaming on social media. The act reportedly led to a major accident along the Lekki–Epe Expressway in Lagos.
Police further disclosed that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for a comprehensive investigation, adding that Peller will be charged to court once inquiries are concluded.
Reacting to the development, the Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, cautioned social media influencers and content creators against promoting or displaying reckless behaviour online, warning that such actions will attract strict sanctions.
