Nigerian TikToker and streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has shared details of his experience in police detention, saying he neither bathed nor ate for most of the four days he spent in custody.
Peller, 21, was arrested on Friday in the Lekki area of Lagos, following a confrontation with police officers over a tinted vehicle without a number plate.
Following his release, Peller took to his Snapchat account to give an account of his time in custody.
“I am ugly now, I can’t show my face yet. Omo, I slept in cell for almost four days. It has never happened to me before in my life o,” he wrote.
He said fellow inmates recognised him and jokingly referred to him as “001” during his time in custody.
He added that he went without food and water for most of his detention.
Peller said the experience had made him more cautious, adding that he was now focused on staying out of trouble ahead of his wedding.
In a video that went viral shortly after his arrest, Peller could be seen accusing the officers of harassment, alleging that they pulled his shirt and pointed a gun at his head before taking him into custody.
