The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has ordered immediate legal action against popular Nigerian Tiktoker, Peller following a recent car crash.
Peller was allegedly involved in a deliberate car accident on Sunday afternoon after his girlfriend and content creator, Jarvis, broke up with him.
After the video of the incident surfaced on social media, many netizens condemned Peller’s act and called on the authorities to withdraw his license.
However, reacting to the development on Monday afternoon, the Federal Road Safety Corps, in a statement released on X, directed its Lagos command to prosecute the Tiktok star.
Speaking in the statement, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Muhammed, urged entertainment stakeholders including the Actor Guild of Nigeria, AGN; Content creators and entertainment associations to call their members to order over dangerous use of the road.
He directed the Lagos command to prosecute Peller for “reckless driving, use of phone while driving and distracted driving, in accordance with extant traffic laws”.
The Corps further warned the entertainment industry that ” fame does not confer immunity from the law, nor does it excuse dangerous behaviour on public roads”.
