Peller demands Shank Comics’ arrest over car crash during livestream

Popular TikToker Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has urged the Nigeria Police Force and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to arrest fellow content creator Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel, popularly known as Shank Comics, following a recent car crash during a livestream.

Shank Comics was seen in a viral video driving a Mercedes-Benz at high speed on a highway in Lagos earlier in 2026 before losing control and crashing. No serious injuries were reported.

The incident marks his second publicly known crash in about six months, after a similar accident in November 2025 that severely damaged another vehicle.

As of Saturday, there has been no official statement, arrest, or vehicle impoundment by authorities in connection with the incident.

Peller made his demand during a livestream that gained widespread attention online, arguing that authorities were applying different standards. He insisted that Shank Comics should face the same legal consequences he did following his own crash last year.

In December 2025, Peller was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command after recklessly driving and crashing his vehicle during a live broadcast along the Lekki–Epe Expressway. Authorities at the time described his actions as dangerous and a threat to public safety. He was detained for about a week on charges related to reckless driving and phone use while driving, with the FRSC indicating plans to prosecute him.

The contrasting reactions from both authorities and the public have since sparked debate on social media, with critics alleging inconsistency in law enforcement and preferential treatment for celebrities.

While some users supported Peller’s call for accountability and urged the FRSC to take action, others dismissed his comments as an attempt to draw attention.

The Lagos State Police Command and the FRSC have yet to respond officially to the latest incident.
