A Lagos Magistrate Court has granted bail of ₦500,000 to TikTok content creator, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and his accomplice, Bello Oladipo, who were arraigned over an allegation of obstructing police officers during an operation.
The report said the pair pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them by the Lagos State Police Command and were granted bail by the court.
They were required to provide two sureties, one of whom must be a blood relative.
The court further directed them to produce their tax clearance documents for two years before the bail conditions could be fulfilled.
The case was then adjourned to 11th August for further hearing.
Linda Ikeji reports that the charges against Peller and Oladipo were brought after an occurrence on July 2 along Coastal Road, Lekki, Lagos, when police officers allegedly stopped the TikTok star over a car said to be driving without number plates.
It was reported that Peller told the officers that the vehicle was newly bought, but the officers insisted he should follow them to the station.
Things then took a turn for the worse when the content creator started recording the interaction with his phone.
The TikTok personality later accused the officers of acting aggressively during the incident, but the police command dismissed the claims and filed charges against him and his associate.
The pair are also charged with resisting police officers, preventing officers from carrying out their duties and acting in a manner which could lead to a breach of the peace.
