FRSC moves to prosecute TikToker Peller for alleged reckless driving

The Federal Road Safety Corps has announced plans to prosecute popular TikTok streamer Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, following a road traffic crash linked to alleged distracted driving. The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, said the case reflects a worrying rise in irresponsible road use among celebrities, influencers and content creators, which he warned threatens public safety and undermines national road safety campaigns.​ The decision followed the circulation of a viral video showing Peller live streaming while driving shortly before the crash.
