FRSC Orders Probe as TikTok Star Peller Crashes Car During Livestream

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has ordered an immediate investigation into a road accident involving popular content creator, Hamzat Habeeb Adelabu, widely known as Peller. The directive follows a viral incident on Sunday where the influencer crashed his vehicle while broadcasting live on social media. The crash, which has since dominated online discourse, reportedly occurred moments after Peller was seen in a visibly distressed state, making threatening remarks about ending it all due to an alleged romantic fallout with fellow TikTok star, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis.

The Lagos State Sector Command of the FRSC has been tasked with prosecuting the content creator for dangerous driving and public disturbance. According to reports, Peller was driving his Lexus SUV when he lost control, ramming the vehicle into a barrier. The livestream, which was being watched by thousands of fans, captured the chaotic moments leading up to the impact, sparking widespread panic among his followers. Emergency responders rushed him to an undisclosed hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment for injuries sustained during the collision.

The incident has triggered a firestorm of speculation regarding the influencer's mental health and his relationship status. Prior to the crash, rumors had intensified that Peller and Jarvis, who frequently collaborate on content, had ended their relationship. In the wake of the accident, Jarvis broke her silence in a tearful video, expressing her distress over the situation. She denied allegations that she was responsible for his emotional state, stating, "I am scared, I don’t want to harm anybody," while insisting that she had tried to de-escalate their private disagreements.

Public reaction has been sharply divided. While many fans have flooded social media with prayers for Peller's recovery, others have condemned the act of livestreaming while driving as reckless and performative. Critics argue that the stunt endangered not only the influencer’s life but also the lives of other road users. The FRSC’s involvement signals a potential crackdown on the growing trend of content creators engaging in high-risk behaviors for online engagement.

As of Monday morning, the condition of the vehicle remains unknown, though images circulating online show significant damage to the front end. The police have also hinted at an investigation into the "suicidal" nature of the broadcast, as Nigerian law criminalizes attempted suicide. As the drama unfolds, the focus remains on Peller’s recovery and the legal ramifications of a digital stunt gone wrong.
