TikToker Peller Shares How He Was Assaulted by Police in Lekki

"I Was Coming Back from Ikorodu, Then This Happened in Lekki" – TikToker Peller Recounts Disturbing Police Encounter

Popular Nigerian TikToker and streamer, Peller, has shared a troubling encounter with police officers during a recent trip. According to him, the incident happened while he was returning from Ikorodu and got stopped at a checkpoint in Lekki.

In his words:

"I was coming back from Ikorodu when this happened in Lekki. A police officer asked us to open the boot of the car, and we complied. The next thing, he ordered everyone to come down for a search.

I decided to start recording on my phone, just in case anything went wrong. Suddenly, the officer punched me in the face.

Then, the other policemen started saying, ‘Oh, we didn’t know it was you!’ So this is what you people do to random, unknown citizens?"*



In the video, a police officer is seen approaching Peller while he was seated inside the car. The officer says, “Come down for searching. You want to video?” Peller replies, “Yes,” and moments later, he’s heard screaming and cursing the officer, shouting, “God go punish you, why you dey do like that?”

Peller then steps out of the vehicle, visibly upset, still recording and shouting, “He punched my face!” while also singing in protest. The other officers can be seen trying to calm him down, claiming they didn’t know who he was.

The video has since gone viral, sparking a wave of reactions online. While some viewers felt Peller was too rude and confrontational, many others supported him, arguing that the police were clearly in the wrong and acted unprofessionally.

Peller’s account has reignited concerns about police brutality, abuse of power, and the ongoing mistreatment of everyday Nigerians at checkpoints.

What do you expect from an angry police officer who is equally oppressed by the same system?

He should have acted polite.
Be diplomatic with police when you face them on the road

But why will they even say they didn't know who he was, who is peller? That those small small Genz use their data to watch and that makes him a celeb , this country sabi shame me I swear

Both Peller and the police man are assaulters.

Police asked him to come down for searching and he brought out his phone to record the scene.

In other words according to the policemen celebrities are treated differently, naija my country.

He's a celebrity even when it makes you angry to admit. Assaulting him is a bad PR for the police image as you can see now.

Gone are the days when Tunji Disu was commander of RRS.
Sanity in the RRS went away with oga Tunji.
Aside their uniforms there is no difference between the average police officers and the RRS.
ITS A SHAME WHAT THE RRS HAS BECOME
