The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has confirmed that legal action will be taken against popular Nigerian TikToker, Peller, following his recent suicide attempt.

Recall that Peller crashed his new Mercedes-Benz on Sunday, December 14, after his girlfriend broke up with him.

Before the crash, he had revealed in a live stream that he was willing to end it all.

The crash dominated the news cycle with social media users condemning his actions and calling for 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”.
