In his post, the lawyer known on Facebook as Law in Palour stated that Peller broke the law during the car crash.
He stated that it is a crime in Nigeria to use a phone while driving, noting that Peller was live streaming at the time.
He also said attempting to take one’s own life is a serious offense, insisting the streamer should face the law.
"So Peller had an accident while driving his Blue Mercedes SUV, before the accident he was live streaming and was lamenting about the issues in his love life. Apparently the accident was not just about speed or bad roads, it was largely about emotional distraction and driving while live streaming."
He quoted a section of the Federal Road Safety Commission Act of 2007 which he said is against the use of mobile phone while driving.
He said:
"Oya for his fans listen, Peller should be arrested for trying something extremely stupid, under section 10(4) paragraph ff of the Federal Road Safety Commission Act of 2007, which prohibits using your phone while driving. Imagine Peller was using his phone to go live while driving. Also he was involved in an accident that he reasonably foresaw would happen, if anybody experiences nervous shock from that accident, he or she can sue Peller and recover millions in damages for negligence."
He insists people must stop encouraging Peller to engage in bad behaviour, noting that the streamer needs to be disciplined.
He noted:
"Y’all encouraging nonsense, besides lest I forget, attempting su!c!de is a crime on its own. So because of love, a small boy wants to kpai. Those of you shouting mental health, come here… swear say if na your brother of 20 years for house dey do this nonsense you go support am? Lord pls, borrow me this kid for a second, the discipline go loud."
