Nigerian content creator and influencer, Tunde Perry, has alleged that popular TikTok personality Peller has remained in police custody since Friday following his arrest in Lagos.
Tunde Perry made the claim during a TikTok live session while addressing concerns from fans over Peller’s prolonged absence from social media.
According to him, Peller was arrested while returning home from a content shoot in the Lekki area of Lagos.
He alleged that the TikTok star was stopped by police officers over the use of a vehicle with tinted windows and for allegedly driving without a number plate.
“Peller has been in the police station since Friday. He is still there till now. That is why he has not been online,” Tunde Perry said.

He further claimed that although the arrest initially took place in Lekki, the case had since been transferred to Ikeja.
“The incident happened in Lekki, but it has now been transferred to Ikeja,” he added.
The alleged detention comes shortly after Peller reportedly had an encounter with suspected area boys at the shooting location, where they allegedly demanded ₦250,000 from him.
As of the time of filing this report, the Nigeria Police Force has not issued any official statement confirming or denying the alleged arrest or detention.
Checks also indicate that Peller’s last activity across his social media platforms was on Friday, further fuelling speculation among his followers about his whereabouts.
