It appears Nigerian content creator and online streamer Habeeb Hazmat popularly known as “Peller” might have a case to answer following.
A viral self-recorded live video of himself driving recklessly, resulting in a road traffic crash.
The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps(FRSC) Shehu Mohammed, has described the incident as unlawful and dangerous, noting that it could have led to loss of lives.
Mohammed expressed concern over what he said has become a growing pattern among some celebrities, content creators and social media influencers, warning that such conduct poses serious danger to lives and undermines national road safety efforts aimed at reducing road traffic crashes and fatalities.
He explained that live streaming, content creation, recording often distract a driver while in motion which violates established road traffic regulations as well as poses grave danger not only to the driver but to other road users.
The FRSC corps marshal said the incident served as a stern reminder that fame does not confer immunity from the law, nor does it excuse dangerous behaviour on public roads.
He has directed the Lagos State Sector Commander to begin the prosecution processes against the individual involved.
