In a dramatic call for accountability, popular Nigerian TikToker Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, has urged the Nigeria Police Force and the Federal Road Safety Corps to arrest fellow content creator Shank Comics, whose real name is Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel. This demand follows a livestream incident where Shank Comics was filmed driving at high speed before crashing his Mercedes on a Lagos highway. Peller highlighted a perceived double standard, noting that he was arrested under similar circumstances last year, which raises questions about the consistent enforcement of traffic laws for online personalities.

The incident took place in early 2026 and was particularly alarming as it marked Shank's second publicized crash within a six-month period, the first of which occurred in November 2025. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported in either crash, but the repeated incidents have triggered concerns over reckless driving behaviors showcased during livestreams. As of the report, authorities had not issued any statements or taken action regarding Shank's crash, leaving the public and Peller wondering about the implications of this apparent leniency towards social media influencers.

Peller's livestream demand went viral, reflecting the growing scrutiny on the behavior of online celebrities and how their actions may impact public safety. The calls for legal consequences for reckless behavior signal a potential shift in how content creators are held accountable in Nigeria, especially as their popularity influences many young followers. This incident could serve as a catalyst for discussions surrounding legal reforms and stricter regulations in the realm of social media content, particularly related to public safety and responsible driving practices.
