Nigerian TikToker cum streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has shared his experience after spending almost four days in police custody.
It would be recalled that the TikTok creator and his associate, Bello Oladipo, were recently granted ₦500,000 bail by a Lagos Magistrate’s Court after being charged with obstructing police officers during an operation.
The Tiktoker was charged in court following an incident on July 2 along Coastal Road in Lekki, Lagos. Police officers had reportedly stopped Peller because his vehicle was allegedly being driven without number plates.
Peller reportedly told the officers the car was newly bought, but they still asked him to come with them to the station.
Things became tense when the content creator started recording the encounter on his phone.
Later, the TikTok personality accused the officers of acting aggressively, but the police command denied this and filed charges against him and his associate.
Both men are accused of resisting police, stopping officers from doing their jobs, and behaving in a way that could disturb public peace.
Following his release, Peller took to his Snapchat account to recount his time in custody, revealing that he neither bathed nor ate while in detention.
According to Peller, he has never experienced such an incident in his life.
He said, “I am ugly now, I can’t show my face yet. Omo, I slept in cell for almost four days. It has never happened to me before in my life o.
“I no chop for four good days, I no bath.”
Peller also revealed that fellow inmates recognised him and jokingly referred to him as “001” during his time in custody.
He noted that the experience in the police cell had made him more cautious, adding that he will be focused on staying out of trouble ahead of his wedding.
He added, “Nah, my wedding dey my mind. Nah to dey waka jeje after wedding japa.”
