Lagos State Police Command spokesperson Abimbola Adebisi confirmed the arrest and arraignment to the press, as reported by Premium Times.
The court set identical bail conditions for both men, each requiring two sureties.
At least one of those sureties must be a blood relative, and both must present valid tax clearance certificates covering the past two financial years.
The 3 charges against Peller
The duo faced three counts in court. The first charge accused them of conspiring to resist public officers, an offence under Section 411 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015.
The second alleged that they obstructed ASP Agbede Victor and three other officers while those officers were performing their lawful duties, contrary to Section 117 (1) (2) of the same law.
The third count accused them of behaving in a manner likely to cause a breach of public peace by threatening and filming police personnel during the execution of their duties, punishable under Section 168 (a) & (d) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015.
How the Lekki confrontation unfolded
The trouble started when officers flagged down Peller's vehicle, stating that it was being driven without a number plate.
The content creator explained that he had only recently purchased the car, but officers declined to accept that explanation and asked him to follow them to the station.
The situation intensified when Peller began recording the exchange on his phone.
He alleged that officers then turned aggressive, with one reportedly grabbing his shirt and pointing a gun at him.
Both Peller and Oladipo, who was also in the vehicle at the time, were subsequently taken into custody before they were brought to court.
