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. 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. 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.
