A Magistrate’s Court in Lagos has granted bail to Nigerian TikToker, Peller, over allegations of obstructing police officers.
The court admitted him to bail in the sum of ₦500,000 on Tuesday after he spent four days in police detention.
Peller was arrested on Friday following a confrontation with police officers in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
He was subsequently transferred to the Ikeja Police Station and arraigned on Tuesday alongside Bello Oladipo on a three-count charge bordering on resisting police officers and breach of public peace.
The charges include obstruction of police officers in the discharge of their duties, conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace, and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Prior to his arrest, Peller was seen in a viral video accusing some police officers of harassing him for driving a tinted vehicle without a number plate.
He claimed he had only recently purchased the vehicle and alleged that the officers pulled his shirt, pointed a gun at his head and insisted on taking him into custody.
