A Lagos-based woman, Osarobo Odigie, has instituted legal action against popular TikTok streamer Habeeb Hamzat , popularly known as Peller, over alleged defamation, cyber harassment, and invasion of privacy at a lounge. The lawyers alleged that after Odigie moved away from Peller due to the loudness, he confronted her and demanded to know why she had stepped aside. They further alleged that Peller recorded the confrontation on his phone without her consent and subsequently shared the video across multiple social media platforms. The lawsuit follows a widely circulated confrontation between Peller and the woman at a Lagos eatery on January 6. Peller had earlier apologised publicly to the woman on January 9 after the video sparked widespread criticism online.
