TikToker Peller apologizes over reckless driving, car crash
Popular TikToker Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, on Friday issued a public apologised over a viral video showing him driving recklessly and crashing his vehicle during a live-stream.
In a video shared on Instagram, Peller posted with the caption, “I’m sorry, Nigeria, please I’m sorry. I will never do that again. I am very sorry. For now, I am on medication. Once I’m done with my medication, I will be online.”
In the video, he said, “I let emotion get to me. That’s why I do that. I’m very sorry. Please, please. You can comment anything against me, but please, I’m sorry. I’m very sorry. I don’t do it intentionally. Please. Please, guys. Please forgive me. I’m very sorry. Please, don’t bully Jarvis. Leave her. She is not concerned. It’s me.”
The apology follows a widely shared incident on Sunday, December 14, 2025, when Peller livestreamed himself driving recklessly along the Lekki‑Epe Expressway in Lagos.
During the livestream, he threatened to crash his vehicle in what many described as an attempted suicide, before losing control and smashing his newly purchased Mercedes‑Benz into a stone barrier.
Bystanders at the scene helped convey him to a hospital, and the extent of his injuries was unclear at the time.
The crash sparked public outrage due to the danger it posed to both the influencer and other road users.
Reacting, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said the incident exposed the dangers of distracted and reckless driving, particularly involving live streaming or content creation.
The FRSC’s Corps Marshal warned that such behaviour not only violates traffic laws but also undermines national road safety efforts, directing that prosecution should begin for offences including reckless driving, use of a phone while driving, and distracted driving.
Also, on Tuesday, the Lagos State Police Command announced Peller’s arrest and detention for further investigation, describing his conduct as extremely dangerous and capable of causing fatal consequences for himself and other road users.
Police described the incident as a “deliberate attempt to commit suicide” and warned against using social media platforms to engage in reckless or unlawful acts.
The case has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a comprehensive probe, and Peller is expected to face prosecution by the Federal Road Safety Corps.
The episode has reignited public discourse on the growing trend of risky stunts by influencers and content creators chasing online engagement, with many Nigerians urging stricter enforcement of road safety laws and greater awareness of mental health issues among young public figures.
