  • A viral video of Nigerian streamer Habeed Okikiola, aka Peller, and the Nigerian police caught the attention of many online
  • Peller captured an unusual situation after he was stopped by the police, but he got hit by an officer
  • They, however, tried to simmer down the situation after learning who he was, but Peller took an alternative action instead

It was an unfortunate event for popular Nigerian streamer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Peller, who ran into trouble after stepping 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 had already started recording the situation. Upon noticing the camera, one of the policemen moved closer in an attempt to stop him.

Peller refused to comply, which led to him being punched in the face. The camera turned blurry at that moment, capturing the violent scene.

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 😡😡."
