A famous Nigerian TikToker revealed that Funke Akindele, an actress, assisted him when he was incarcerated.
Following an alleged intentional vehicle accident in Lagos State, the TikToker was taken into custody in December 2025.
The Federal Road Safety Corps ordered Peller to be arrested and charged with reckless driving in response to the events that led to the collision.
However, the TikTok streamer said that she assisted in getting him released from prison after striking up a conversation with actress Funke Akindele at the Saturday film’s premiere, “Love Notes.”
While appreciating Funke for her kind gesture, Peller said: “she was the one who helped me when I was in prison. She was the one who helped my life.”
Following his arrest by the Lagos State Police Command following an incident involving reckless driving and an alleged suicide attempt, Peller has spoken out. Vehicle electronics
The content producer apologised for his conduct and begged for forgiveness in a video that went viral on social media, adding, “I am sorry, Nigerians.”

Please, I’m sorry. I will never do that again. I’m very sorry, please. For now, I am on medication. Once I am done with my medication, I will be online.”
The controversy is reportedly connected to Peller’s recent split from his girlfriend, Jarvis.
Jarvis had earlier confirmed the end of their relationship, explaining that Peller’s difficulty with emotional control played a major role in her decision to walk away.
Confirming the development, the Lagos State Police Command said Peller was arrested after his actions were deemed a deliberate attempt at self-harm and a serious threat to other road users.
Police accounts indicate that the incident happened on Sunday, December 14, 2025, when Peller was allegedly seen driving dangerously while livestreaming on social media, an act that reportedly resulted in a severe accident on the Lekki–Epe Expressway in Lagos. Vehicle electronics
Authorities further revealed that the matter has been handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for a thorough investigation, noting that Peller will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of the investigation.
Reacting to the incident, Commissioner of Police Olohundare Jimoh warned social media influencers and digital content creators against encouraging or showcasing reckless acts online, emphasising that such behavior would attract firm consequences.
Meanwhile, TikTok celebrity Jarvis has come out in the face of severe criticism and online mockery regarding her partner Peller’s mental health issue.
Remember that after an alleged altercation with Jarvis, Peller attempted suicide and crashed his car, causing a great deal of conjecture and ridicule on social media.
