During an Instagram Live session after the incident, Peller explained that the car had only just been bought and the registration process was not yet complete. He alleged that officers dragged his shirt and pointed a gun at him.
In a video from a recent live session circulating on social media, Tunde Perry said Peller has remained in detention since Friday, and that his management team has been working hard to secure his release.
The content creator praised Peller’s manager, Tekunbi, for his efforts and appealed to the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, to forgive the young star and secure his release from detention.
He further advised Nigerians to respect the police and government.
“Peller management hasn’t slept; they’ve been going up & down to get him out. Tekunbi, God bless you for all your efforts. IGP said if you don’t have a plate number you should be arrested. Please IGP Tunji Disu forgive Peller & release him, he is a small boy. Don’t drag with police; something you’ll settle in 10mins; if you drag it with police, it’ll take 10days or 1 year to solve. After God is the Government.”
While Perry claimed Peller is still in custody, the Nigeria Police have not officially confirmed his detention or announced any charges at the time of this report.
