1. UK-based Nigerian calls for Peller's arrest

In a statement made on December 14, hours after the accident was reported, @0N1K6 stated that the streamer needs to be arrested by the Nigerian authorities.

He explained what could have happened to the streamer if the incident had occurred in a developed country.

He wrote:

"Honestly, Peller should be arrested for the stunt he just pulled... Nigeria isn't moving forward because rules are just for show."

Speaking on what could happen to Peller if he had pulled such an act in the UK, he shared:

"Try that in the UK and you lose your license, get fined, possibly jailed, and will pay for the road damage after you are released from the hospital.
"If it's sure for you, go rent a car and do same thing Peller did and if you don't get a fine, I'll pay for any damages you inflict on the car. Shior"

2. Man calls for Peller's prosecution

A young man who is a legal practitioner alleged that the streamer, Peller, tried to take his own life and asked that he be prosecuted in a law court because of this.

He took to his page, @upuujerry, to say this as he tagged the appropriate authority.

He shared:

"Peller must now be arrested and tried for attempting to end his life and reckless/dangerous driving."

While tagging the agency responsible for road safety, he asked that the streamer’s license be revoked to make it impossible for him to drive, so this incident wouldn't happen again.

He continued:

"The @FRSCNigeria must revoke his driver's license immediately. There's already enough evidence to show that the young man is unfit to sit behind the wheel."

The post of the legal practitioner grabbed attention online due to what he recommended be done to the streamer.

3. Lady tells police to arrest Peller

Just like the UK-based Nigerian and the Nigerian lawyer, a young lady, @DrTubo joined the discussion and urged the police to immediately arrest Peller because his actions could endanger innocent people.

She also lashed out at social media users making fun of the statements online, calling the matter serious and demanding urgent action.

Her statement read:

"I typed and deleted, but yeah. Police needs to pick up Peller for reckless endangerment. All other things should follow. I don’t understand all this silly noise on the TL. Are you people joking?"

Despite the outcry from some individuals who have called and continue to call for Peller's arrest, no official report or statement, as of the time of writing this report, suggests that the online streamer has been arrested or invited by the police.
