Peller apologises to Nigerians after failed suicide attempt

Popular TikToker Peller has broken his silence following his recent arrest and detention by the Lagos State Police Command over an attempted suicide and reckless driving.

In a video message, Peller apologised to Nigerians, saying, “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.”

Peller’s actions were linked to his recent breakup with his girlfriend, Jarvis.

Jarvis had announced the end of their relationship, citing Peller’s struggles with emotional regulation as a major factor.

The police also confirmed Peller’s arrest a few days ago, stating that his actions constituted a deliberate attempt to commit suicide and endangered the lives of other innocent people.

The incident occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025, when Peller was seen driving recklessly and live-streaming the incident on social media, leading to a serious road crash on the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos.

The police have transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation, and Peller will face charges in court.

The Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, has warned social media influencers and content creators to avoid promoting reckless behavior online, stating that lawlessness will not be tolerated.
