Following his arrest by the Lagos State Police Command following an incident involving reckless driving and an alleged suicide attempt, Peller has spoken out.
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.
Authorities further revealed that the matter has been handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for a thorough probe, noting that Peller will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
Reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, warned social media influencers and digital content creators against encouraging or showcasing reckless acts online, emphasizing that such behaviour will 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.
In defense of Peller, Jarvis has urged the public to stop making fun of him and instead show compassion, saying that he needs support to recover.
“Please, you guys should stop mocking Peller. All he needs is encouragement to get better. Stop using our pain to mock us,” she said.
She described Peller as a kind and gentle person who needs support to recover and find the strength to return online.
“Peller is a very sweet boy and needs your support to come back online. I love him, but we need to be okay. I’m not okay,” she added.
