It was such an unfortunate event for popular Nigerian streamer, Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Peller, as he stepped out at night.

In a video that has now gone viral online, the 20-year-old streamer was spotted in the back seat of his car after the police had pulled him over.

Being who he is, he was already recording the situation. On sighting the camera, one of the policemen moved close in an attempt to stop him.

Peller refused to oblige, resulting in him getting punched in the face, as the camera got blurry, citing a violent situation.

Luckily for him, another officer recognised him and informed the one who had put hands on him.

The TikTok star got out of his car and refused to be patronised, insisting that he was assaulted and bullied. The majority are thankful that he is safe and sound, but wonder what would have been the case had he not been a celebrity.

Reporting the situation online, Peller wrote: "I was coming back from ikorodu and this happened in Lekki the police man said we should open the bout and we open nest thing everybody come down for searching I just carry phone incase anything happen next thing he punch me for face the remaining police men come dey talk say he no no say nah me so nah so una dey do for random people."
