    Peller: FRSC warns celebrities, influencer against road filming

    The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a stern warning to celebrities, social media influencers, and content creators, against using public roads to create online content, citing the dangers and illegality of the practice.

    The FRSC’s stance was prompted by a viral video showing TikToker Peller live-streaming while driving, which led to a road crash.

    Corps Marshal, Mallam Shehu Mohammed, in a statement signed by the corps spokesperson Olusegun Ogungbemide, emphasised that using phones to record or stream while driving distracts drivers, putting lives at risk, and is a clear breach of traffic laws.

    According to Mohammed, the FRSC will take legal action against anyone involved in reckless driving, phone use while driving, or distracted driving, with the Lagos state sector commander set to initiate proceedings.

    The FRSC also calls on entertainment groups and influencer communities to educate members on safe driving practices.

    “Expectedly, the Corps Marshal therefore calls on Actors Guilds, entertainment associations, influencer networks and content creator communities to urgently rein in their members and promote responsible conduct, particularly on Nigerian roads.

    “Celebrities and influencers wield enormous influence, especially among young Nigerians, and must be seen as ambassadors of safety, not symbols of recklessness”, Mohammed said.

    The FRSC warns that it will apply the full weight of the law against anyone found engaging in distracted or reckless driving, regardless of their social status.

    “FRSC will not hesitate to apply the full weight of the law against any individual, celebrity or otherwise, found engaging in distracted or reckless driving. No social media content, online trend or momentary clout is worth a human life”, the statement concluded.

    She described Peller as a kind and gentle person who needs support to recover and find the strength to return online.

  • FRSC to prosecute TikToker Peller over alleged reckless driving

    FRSC to prosecute TikToker Peller over alleged reckless driving

    The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has announced plans to prosecute popular TikTok streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, following a road traffic crash linked to distracted driving.

    The Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, expressed concern over what he described as a growing trend of reckless road use among celebrities, content creators and social media influencers, warning that such behaviour endangers lives and undermines national road safety efforts.

    The warning followed a viral video showing Peller engaging in a live video stream while driving, an act the FRSC said reportedly resulted in a crash.

    In a statement issued on Monday and signed by the corps spokesperson, Olusegun Ogungbemide, Mohammed described the act as unlawful and dangerous, noting that it could have led to loss of lives.

    “The incident serves as a grim reminder that fame does not confer immunity from the law, nor does it excuse dangerous behaviour on public roads,” the corps marshal said.

    He stressed that live streaming, content creation or any activity that distracts a driver while driving is a direct violation of traffic regulations and poses serious risks to both the driver and other road users.

    According to him, such conduct also undermines ongoing efforts to reduce road traffic crashes and fatalities across the country.

    Mohammed directed the Lagos State Sector Commander of the FRSC to commence prosecution against the individual involved for reckless driving, use of a phone while driving and distracted driving, in line with existing traffic laws.

    He also called on professional bodies within the entertainment industry, including actors’ guilds, influencer networks and content creator associations, to take responsibility for the conduct of their members and promote responsible behaviour on Nigerian roads.

    The corps marshal noted that celebrities and influencers wield significant influence, especially among young Nigerians, and warned that they must serve as ambassadors of safety rather than symbols of recklessness.

    Reiterating the FRSC’s zero-tolerance stance, Mohammed said the corps would not hesitate to apply the full weight of the law against anyone found engaging in reckless or distracted driving, regardless of status.

    “No social media content, online trend or momentary clout is worth a human life,” he said, reminding motorists that public roads are shared spaces governed by laws designed to protect lives.

    He encouraged Nigerians to report dangerous driving behaviours and support collective efforts to make highways safer.

  • Why Peller, Jarvis are a ticking time bomb – Do2dtun

    Why Peller, Jarvis are a ticking time bomb – Do2dtun

    Media personality Do2dtun has reacted to the recent incident involving content creator Peller, who crashed his car during a live broadcast amid reported relationship issues with Jarvis.

    Sharing his views on X, Do2dtun said the couple’s relationship appears to be built on superficial foundations, arguing that it is driven more by interest and external validation than by a genuine emotional connection.

    He warned that such dynamics often create unrealistic expectations and unhealthy patterns, stressing the importance of individual growth and self-development.

    According to him, Peller and Jarvis should consider taking time apart to discover their individual identities, make mistakes independently and grow as individuals.

    Do2dtun also described the relationship as seemingly cute but ultimately toxic, adding that without constant external validation, the pair might actually be better off.

    He further cautioned that fame and money can be dangerous tools, particularly for young people like Peller and Jarvis who are still navigating their lives and personal development.

    He said, “A relationship built on interest & validation will eventually cause you to have unattainable expectations, the need to live above your means & satisfy the desires of strangers. What are you both besides the light camera action? Anything built to satisfy the energy of the people is a ticking time bomb.

    “They both have a long way to go. They are in a time & age to make their mistakes. Live & develop themselves individually against doing it through a relationship. They tied their innocence to the expectations they created for themselves. We amplified an unrealistic expectation. Sadly, it takes away the happiness when the demand is high.

    “When you are grown to think money against all odds is the only key to be seen; validated or keep a relationship; you just built your own cage. You will move from being happy to being seen. Any relationship that requires you must be together to be validated will eventually lack individualism; happiness & turn to just performance. One party will feel cheated eventually.

    “Peller & Jarvis is a ticking time bomb. Trust me, they need to move around, test the waters, live and make their mistakes individually. They will eventually see their truth and worth. They might even realize they should have just being friends or might come together later in future and have an amazing relationship. I am not ruling it out but they need to LIVE! and grow individually for now.

    “They grew too fast and we encouraged it. You people that stan them are the real devils. Kids at their age still live under the roof of their parents. There is no justification for his actions & also it’s time he needs to reevaluate his primary role. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Many of us were stupid at that age, we just had guidance. These kids are already playing their parents roles, what do you expect?

    “Once your kids become the parent or your friends over being your children in their teenage years; you might lose them. No matter how famous they are or what they give you, put your foot down on certain things. Fame is fickle yet it needs to be tutored & controlled. Even adults can’t handle it not to talk of kids.

    “Let a child be a child. We did stupid things too at their age. The only difference is some didn’t have the capacity to amplify it. Fame & money are dangerous tools. These kids at this age might even be the breadwinner. Who wan advise them? Things are otherwise done in reverse. Children need to be children even if you are famous.

    “Peller & Jarvis is not a symbiotic relationship. One will grow faster than the other and feel caged and the other might be feel slighted for giving everything and yet can’t control the narrative. It is cute but toxic. Them without us, the clicks and what we think might be perfect. Sadly, you are all invested hence why it won’t work”.

  • TikTok Peller hospitalised after crashing car during ‘disturbing’ livestream 

    TikTok Peller hospitalised after crashing car during ‘disturbing’ livestream 

    TikTok influencer and livestreamer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has been hospitalised following an incident in which he crashed his newly acquired Mercedes-Benz during an emotional livestream.

    The incident occurred on Sunday along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos during an Instagram live session titled “RIP Peller.”

    In the widely circulated video, Peller appeared visibly distressed while driving alone and was seen engaging in what appeared to be a heated phone conversation, reportedly with his girlfriend and fellow content creator, Jarvis, amid reports of a possible breakup.

    During the livestream, Peller was seen crying and appearing agitated as he made several troubling remarks, including statements suggesting he might cause an accident and expressions of fear and emotional distress.

    He repeatedly voiced concerns about being mocked publicly if the relationship ended and, at one point, stated that he intended to harm himself without putting others at risk.

    “I will use this car and have an accident right now,” and later, “I’m scared. I’m scared.

    “If you break up with me, people will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be, they will be mocking me, they will not… Thank you, I’m going to kill myself.”

    Moments later, footage showed him veering off the road and colliding with a barrier, resulting in significant damage to the luxury vehicle.

    Bystanders quickly assisted him at the scene, and he was rushed to a hospital.

    While reports confirm he was rescued and received medical attention, details on the severity of his injuries remain unconfirmed.

    The couple’s relationship has been turbulent, with previous public arguments, allegations, and reconciliations playing out online. Leaked chats suggesting another breakup have fueled speculation that this latest dispute triggered the incident.

    Social media reactions have been mixed as many expressed genuine concern for Peller’s well-being and mental health, while others questioned if the dramatic event was exaggerated or staged for attention, given his history of viral content.

    Calls have emerged for authorities, including the Federal Road Safety Corps, to investigate due to the potential risks to public safety.

    No official statements have been released by Peller, Jarvis, or relevant authorities.

  • I won’t go hungry as TikTok restricts night-time live streams in Nigeria – Peller

    I won’t go hungry as TikTok restricts night-time live streams in Nigeria – Peller

    TikToker Peller has downplayed concerns over the temporary ban on TikTok live streams in Nigeria, stating that his diverse income streams and strong brand partnerships will not be affected.

    The Nation earlier reported that TikTok temporarily restricted access to its LIVE feature for users in Nigeria during late-night hours, issuing an in-app notice to creators as part of what it described as an ongoing safety investigation.

    In a video posted on his TikTok page, Peller expressed surprise at critics expecting him to struggle financially, citing his numerous brand ambassadorships and endorsements worth at least N40 million each.

    He emphasised that his digital presence extends beyond TikTok, with long-term partnerships and endorsements ensuring his financial stability.

    “People are expecting me to be crying after TikTok banned live in Nigeria, thinking I’ll go hungry. I’m an ambassador to numerous brands, and none of my endorsements is less than N40 million,” he said.

    Peller highlighted TikTok’s role in empowering Nigerian youth, enabling rapid audience growth and income generation.

    He warned that restricting nighttime livestreams could disrupt engagement and income for creators, arguing that critics overlook the platform’s economic impact on emerging talents.

    “Many people will grow up on TikTok. You can’t grow on Instagram the same way. Before you make it there, you will post plenty… TikTok is easier to grow on,” he said.

    The content creator stressed his commitment to giving back to fans, often redistributing gifts received during live streams through giveaways.

    Peller urged authorities and platform managers to consider the ban’s economic implications, emphasising TikTok’s accessibility and opportunities for young Nigerians.
