Habeeb Hamzat, also known as Peller, and his associate, Bello Oladipo, were granted ₦500,000 bail by a Lagos magistrate’s court after being charged with obstructing police officers during an operation.
The court approved the duo’s bail after they pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them by the Lagos State Police Command.
They were ordered to provide two sureties, one of whom had to be a blood relative.
The court also ordered them to present tax clearance documents covering a two-year period before the bail conditions could be met.
The case was later adjourned until August 11 for a further hearing.
Linda Ikeji reported that the charges against Peller and Oladipo stemmed from a July 2 incident on Coastal Road in Lekki, Lagos, where police stopped the TikTok star for driving without number plates.
Peller was said to have informed the officers that the vehicle had been recently purchased, but the officers insisted that he accompany them to the station.
The situation became tense when the content creator started recording the encounter on his phone.
The TikTok personality later accused the officers of being aggressive during the incident, but the police department dismissed his claims and filed charges against him and his associate.
The two are accused of resisting police officers, obstructing officers from performing their duties, and engaging in conduct that could result in a breach of public peace.
