Germany explains why Peller deserves prison
A report from Legit.ng also showed the moment the streamer was rescued from the car just moments after the deadly crash.
After his arrest was confirmed, Nigerians began to react and suggest to the authorities what should happen to the TikTok star.
A Nigerian based in Germany, @AdunbiAyobami, shared his opinion in a post that has now gone viral online.
He mentioned that the TikTok star, Peller, should be jailed with no option of fine if he is found guilty by a court of law.
"He should be jailed with no option of fine. This is my opinion if he is found guilty. It’s a crime to take your own life in Nigeria according to our penal code. Attempted suici.de is primarily governed by colonial-era laws that have largely remained unchanged."

He cited Nigerian law in his statement:
"Criminal Code Act (Southern Nigeria): Section 327 states, ‘Any person who attempts to kill himself is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for one year.’ Penal Code (Northern Nigeria, including the FCT): Section 231 punishes attempted su.icide with imprisonment for up to one year, a fine, or both."

@Vincent00881307 added:
"That's what u get when the process of obtaining a driver's license is full of irregularities. Just take him to rehab then revoke his license for one or two years, for him to calm down."

"Very good. Prosecute him immediately, so when he returns from jail or heavy bail, he will go to school and get educated."
