The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained popular social media influencer Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, following a viral video showing him driving recklessly and crashing his vehicle during a live-stream.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, and made available to the media, the arrest followed widespread public outrage over the incident, which occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025.

The police said Peller’s actions posed a serious threat to public safety and required immediate intervention.

“The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained, for further investigation, Habeeb Hamzat, also known as ‘Peller,’ subsequent to a viral video that surfaced online on Sunday, December 14, 2025, in which he was seen driving recklessly, leading to a dangerous road crash while the incident was being live-streamed, thereby endangering his life and that of other road users,” the statement read in part.

Describing the act as extremely dangerous, the command noted that the behaviour could have resulted in fatal consequences for both the suspect and innocent members of the public.

“His action constitutes a deliberate attempt to commit suicide and endangers the lives of other innocent people,” the statement added.

The police disclosed that the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a comprehensive investigation.

“The matter is currently under investigation by the State Criminal Investigation Department. The outcome of the investigation will be made public, and the suspect will be charged to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the law,” the statement said.

He stressed that such behaviour would no longer be tolerated and assured residents that the command remained committed to enforcing the law without fear or favour.

Peller is about to know. Who dey call Eve.


Man rise woman.
Woman come be the downfall of the said Man.


The truth is, this involves an underage boy. The woman initially took advantage of his immaturity for her own selfish reasons. She irresponsibly placed the role of a father upon a child, a burden he was too young to bear. Now, after this pressure has broken him, she releases videos to portray herself as the victim. She should be arrested for manipulating a minor.

Like this post if you agree

Really

This kid needs to be flogged 99 lashes for damaging that vehicle.

I hope he is investing wisely.

Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation. you

Too much money or fame is making him to misbehave, he needs people that would be talking to him seriously.

I dey suspect say VDM. Dey read 📚 my post for Nairaland.

If the boy is not taught a bitter lesson, then Nigeria is truly a failed country.

This life dey somehow sha. Just smile, and drink plenty water, No one has it all.

The outcome of falling in love instead of standing beside LoveWhen women plenty everywhere, some Ladies they even celebrate their breakup . And he thinks that the opportunist girl care. Idiot

It was expected or ex you will see more people creating similar contents all for the views and viral

He should be taught a lesson.

Just imagine

At this age. What does he knows about Eve?

Capernum:
If the boy is not taught a bitter lesson, then Nigeria is truly a failed country.

Last last he will be made ambassador for roadsafety, police or even nominated as country ambassador to represent naija abroad, after all if Reno omokri can make it, pella certainly can.

He will pay his way out. Nothing will happen. The police want their Christmas handout.

Money and fame jus dey shark the boy like drug....

He want to make more money live-streaming his suicide attempt

Capernum:
If the boy is not taught a bitter lesson, then Nigeria is truly a failed country.

The police arrests people in this context to help them, not to punish them.

They will investigate the matter and determine the kinds of support he needs to be okay.

Good riddance. He should be made to pay heavily for endangering other people's lives and also limits his contents to his usual online tantrums.

Who's this one? 😂 😂 Help who? Someone that will be arrange in court for attempted suicide? Go and read what the law says

Impressive 👏 👏

I love this

Just like borisky he should spend the entire Christmas in prison release him after Valentine next year..

Imagine if someone's mum was by the side of the road frying akara or roasting yam.. Or students going to school this is how he wouldve wasted their lives

His excesses needs to be checkmated, being an influencer doesn't warrant you living an irresponsible and reckless lifestyle and endangering the lives of innocent road users because of your emotional Instability. No one forced you into a relationship, if you're not matured to handle one, stay away from it and channel your energy into more meaningful things.

Tag this moniker when he's taken to court.

You think he doesn't deserve punishment. He has almost all his reckless living online, on the social media. We know his tendencies. If this is not punished, get ready for more suicidal trends.... Then the government will have many more to help. Someone who should be jailed as a warning for other young creators and reckless youths.

You arrest who one kill himself what if he kill himself inside prison

Seize his license
Emotionally unstable
Check the opolo reasons
Mandatory 12 months psychia therapy sessions before he can reapply for license
Otherwise this guy go kpai himself and people for road
Heartbreak with money go wound am lol
At a young age

Like the president, they don't think of the consequences of their actions before execution...


Everything na content to them

For Peller, he is gonna learn

My first love broke my heart for the first and I'm now like baby bay, baby baby

Saw this coming. What else

Nice one.the guy is just a nuisance and it's his parents failed him.they couldn't send him to school or teach him how to show manners and comport himself and be decent

That's why I keep saying don't give birth children you cannot raise because he will not only be a nuisance to you but to his society

If not that the society is messed ,wetin that little boy dey do with relationship.i don't have any pity fo him because I remember when he mocked and made a fool of unemployed adults who came for job when he called for a job.

His parents should take him for therapy

Dont arrest peller only. Arrest all those wreckless okada riders, keke and danfo guys that pass one way. Police should stop collecting bribe from motorists. Enough is enough. Let's also speak against that. Pelller definitely is not the only problem on Nigerian roads.
