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 duo pleaded not guilty to the charges filed against them by the Lagos State Police Command and were granted bail by the court.
They were ordered to furnish two sureties, one of whom must be a blood relation.
The court also ordered them to submit their tax clearance documents for two years before the bail conditions could be completed.
The case thereafter was adjourned to 11th August for further hearing.
The charges against Peller and Oladipo, Linda Ikeji reports, were filed after an incident on July 2 along Coastal Road, Lekki, Lagos, where police officers reportedly stopped the TikTok star over a vehicle said to be driven 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 escalated when the content creator began 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 accused of resisting police officers, preventing officers from carrying out their duties and acting in a manner that could lead to a breach of the peace.
