Nigerian TikTok star Peller has apologised to Nigerians after his recent arrest. The influencer was detained by the Lagos State Police following a dangerous incident on the Lekki–Epe Expressway. Authorities said the incident involved reckless driving and a livestreamed crash.
In a video shared online, Peller expressed remorse. He asked the public for forgiveness and promised not to repeat the behaviour. “I am sorry, Nigerians. Please, I’m very sorry. I will never do that again,” he said. He added that he was receiving medical treatment and would return online after recovery. “For now, I am on medication. Once I am done with my medication, I will be online,” he added.
The crash happened on December 14, 2025, and clips of the livestream went viral on social media. Police acted quickly and transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation. Authorities also warned content creators against promoting reckless behaviour online. They stressed the need for safety and responsibility among influencers.
Reactions to Peller’s apology were mixed. Some praised him for taking accountability. Others expressed concern about the pressures faced by public figures. Many discussed influencer responsibility, while some focused on the emotional factors behind the incident.
