Popular Nigerian TikToker and streamer Peller has opened up about his period in police jail after regaining his freedom, stating that he spent nearly four days in a confinement without eating or showering.
In a post published on his Snapchat profile, Peller admitted he was still too terrified to expose his face, joking that he looked “ugly” after the event.
He claimed that it was the first time he had ever been incarcerated and that he would never forget the experience.
“I can’t show my face yet because I’m ugly. Omo, I slept in the cell for almost four days. It has never happened to me before in my life,” he wrote.
The content producer described how other prisoners greeted him by referring to him as their “001,” a moniker that, despite his circumstances, made him giggle.
He did, however, claim that during his incarceration, he avoided social contact.
“As they put me for cell, people wey dey there said, ‘You be our 001 now.’ Omo, I burst laugh once. I no follow anybody talk till I comot. 001 wey una wan give water and beans to eat. I didn’t eat or bathe for four days. Dem wan wicked me, but God save me,” he added.
Peller’s statements came days after he was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly driving a vehicle without a plate number along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road.
On Wednesday, July 9, he was arraigned before a magistrate court in Lagos on a three-count charge that included reportedly threatening and photographing police officers during the operation, hindering police officers from performing their legal duties, and resisting arrest.
